COLORADO COWBOY CASSEROLE

This is a great family meal with just enough flavor to not be a boring tater tot casserole. The meat layer is creamy and the Southwestern flavor isn't too strong - just perfect. The cheese and the tater tots tie it all together nicely. It's quick, easy, and really good for a family on a budget. Even a picky eater will love...

Delicious. You can use 2 broiler-fryer chickens, cut into serving pieces. I like this over egg noodles, but spaghetti is also very good.
