Welcome back everyone. Today I want to
0:02
show you how to make a cracked out
0:04
chicken tater tot casserole.
0:08
We got the tater tots. We've got the
0:10
chicken. We've got lots of ingredients
0:12
to pull this all together. What is
0:14
cracked out mean? It's an addiction or
0:17
it's you can't stop eating it. Okay? And
0:20
that's what's going to happen when you
0:21
eat this recipe. Okay, you guys. We're
0:25
going to start. I'm going to show you
0:27
the ingredients that you're going to
0:28
need and then we'll put this one
0:30
together. Here they are. Y'all come on
0:33
up and we'll go over them.
0:35
Now, we're going to start with the
0:37
chicken. I've got a rotisserie chicken.
0:39
It's a mosquite flavor. You could even
0:41
make your own chicken if you want to
0:43
bake it, if you want to put it in the
0:44
crock pot, if you want to boil your
0:46
chicken. Just make sure it's got a nice
0:48
flavor to it when you do that. You're
0:50
going to want about three cups of fully
0:53
cooked chicken off the bone and no skin
0:56
on it. You're going to need some tater
0:59
tots. Now, I'm using the crispy rounds
1:02
here.
1:05
We've got the cheese, of course,
1:09
and we've got some sour cream, which
1:11
will add a little tang to it. Nice
1:14
flavor from the cream of chicken. Help
1:16
boost up that chicken flavor.
1:19
We've got a ranch seasoning packet
1:22
because, you know, that's one of the
1:23
things that goes into a cracked out
1:25
dish.
1:27
We've got green onions. That's going to
1:30
top the dish. We've got cream cheese.
1:34
Give it a nice creaminess to it.
1:38
We're going to add some bacon. Now, this
1:40
is fully cooked bacon pieces. You can
1:42
get this from your store in a bag or in
1:44
a little shaker container. or you can
1:47
fry up your own bacon and crumble it up
1:50
like this right here. And then we've got
1:53
our seasonings of salt, pepper, onion
1:56
powder, garlic powder, and smoked
1:58
paprika. That'll give it some nice
2:00
flavor to round out the whole dish. Now,
2:04
I'm super excited that Joseph and his
2:06
fiance Megan are coming over. Yes, if
2:10
you didn't know, they got engaged in
2:14
July
2:16
on her birthday. They went out to
2:20
Galveastston, Texas to Moody Gardens
2:24
where the pyramids are and he tried to
2:27
find a cool little place
2:30
to ask her to marry him and she said
2:33
yes. So, I've been bugging them ever
2:36
since.
2:39
What are the wedding plans? What are
2:41
they going to do? When's the date?
2:46
So, they're coming over today and I'm
2:49
making them this dish. So, it's not a
2:50
low carb dish, but if you eat just a
2:53
little bit of it and have a nice big
2:55
salad with it, sure it's pretty pretty
2:58
good. We're going to eat some of this
2:59
and then they're going to take the whole
3:01
rest of that casserole back to his place
3:04
so that they can have some meals from
3:07
it.
3:08
Yeah, they were really excited about
3:09
this one here. So, I rounded up the
3:11
ingredients this morning. I haven't put
3:13
myself together really well yet as I've
3:15
been running around. I'm going to get
3:17
this chicken finished chopping up here
3:20
and then we're going to come back. Now,
3:22
I added some extra chicken to it from
3:25
another rotisserie, and I was just going
3:27
to make chicken salad out of the rest of
3:29
it, but I wanted to bulk up the
3:31
casserole here for them. added more
3:33
protein and really get their money's
3:36
worth out of it. My money's worth out of
3:38
it, I should say. All right. So, I'm
3:41
going to measure that out for you guys
3:44
so you can see what we're working with
3:47
here. I said three cups, but I mean, it
3:50
just depends on how much chicken you
3:51
want in your dish. This is the main kind
3:53
of the component of the inside of the
3:55
dish there.
3:57
Yep. There we go.
4:00
All right. In our bowl, we're going to
4:02
add the chicken.
4:06
All right, let's add in 8 oz of sour
4:09
cream. We'll give it a nice little
4:13
tanginess to it.
4:15
This is 16 oz. And I'm going to go about
4:18
half of it.
4:25
It's all a part of making this that
4:28
cracked out chicken.
4:31
We've got one can of cream of chicken.
4:34
And when I say that, it's a 10 oz can of
4:37
cream of chicken condensed soup.
4:45
That'll add some nice flavor. And then
4:47
we're going to add in 8 oz of cream
4:49
cheese.
4:52
Bring it to room temperature. Make it
4:53
nice and soft. And if you're just
4:55
pulling this out of the refrigerator,
4:59
you can take it out of the packaging,
5:01
put it on a small plate that's microwave
5:03
safe, and just pop it in there for about
5:04
10 seconds or so.
5:13
So, I'll be right back. That'll really
5:16
help mix it in pretty good.
5:22
Let's add in one cup of cooked chopped
5:25
up bacon. As small as pieces as you can
5:28
get.
5:30
Smells so good.
5:33
This will add a little smokiness and
5:34
saltiness to the dish like everything
5:36
else in here will. But it's okay. Let's
5:40
add a little bit more. There we go.
5:44
I'm going to add in 8 oz of some cheese
5:48
shredded.
5:52
That's good right there. We'll save some
5:54
for the top.
5:56
We've got a packet
5:59
of ranch seasoning, dressing, and recipe
6:02
mix. This is 1 oz.
6:07
We'll add that in. That's part of that
6:10
cracked out recipe for chicken.
6:20
All right, it smells good in there. I'm
6:22
going to get some paprika. Put that
6:24
right on top.
6:29
All right, now I'm not going to put any
6:31
salt in there because I feel like
6:32
there's a that's a lot going on in
6:34
there. So, but we will put in some black
6:36
pepper.
6:39
right on top.
6:41
And now we're going to get something to
6:42
stir all that up.
6:45
All right.
6:48
Now, I am going to be trying out some
6:50
groom cake recipes,
6:54
and next week will be one of them.
6:56
They're not low carb. They're just
6:59
regular cakes, but there's a lot going
7:01
on in them. And the first one that I'm
7:03
going to be doing next week, I'm super
7:04
excited for. So, I've never made it
7:06
before
7:08
and
7:10
I want them to try them out and see what
7:12
they think.
7:13
So, that'll be the number one. Now, I'm
7:16
trying to get them to come over next
7:18
week hopefully and be in a show for you
7:21
guys. You've seen them before. They've
7:24
made two different things for you guys
7:26
and
7:27
I want to bring them back again.
7:32
Okay,
7:34
y'all.
7:35
This is amazing already. Make sure you
7:38
have enough chicken in there for that.
7:39
About four cups. We'll get in with that
7:42
mix.
7:44
I'm going to grab a spoon
7:46
and see if there's anything else that I
7:48
need to flavor this with
7:51
being that everything's cooked anyway
7:53
right here. Okay, let's go.
8:01
I love that creaminess of the cream
8:03
cheese.
8:05
The saltiness from the bacon,
8:08
the tanginess from the sour cream, the
8:11
extra cheese that's in there, the
8:12
paprika gives it an extra smokiness to
8:15
it. Don't forget that flavored chicken.
8:22
That tastes good. All right, you guys.
8:25
Let's go get our baking dish.
8:28
It's right here.
8:31
We have avocado.
8:33
the spray.
8:36
All right. Keep the cheese from sticking
8:38
along the edges and the
8:40
the bottom of our dish here. In the dish
8:43
we go.
8:47
Smells so delicious.
8:50
Where's Thomas? You say he went walking.
8:54
He went walking because he knew this was
8:57
going to happen.
9:00
Be prepared for this. All right. I'm
9:03
going to smush it down into a nice layer
9:07
and that cream cheese will melt on in
9:09
there
9:11
nice and even so everything cooks nice
9:13
and even.
9:15
I know Joseph's happy. He wants this
9:18
recipe. So, it's not a bad recipe.
9:22
It's delicious. They're going to be over
9:25
here a little after 12. It is 10 after
9:28
11 right now. And this thing takes about
9:31
45 minutes in the oven and then some
9:34
extra time just to kind of cool down on
9:36
your oven top there.
9:39
All right,
9:42
what's next?
9:43
[Applause]
9:45
Potato tots.
9:48
Sorry you guys, this was kind of last
9:50
minute and I am like trying to get it
9:51
all together for you here.
9:56
All right,
9:59
I'm going to
10:01
put these on. Now, these are the rounds,
10:06
which means they're flatter than a
10:08
regular tater tot. Probably half the
10:10
size of it. So, we're just going to fill
10:13
the whole thing up with the tater tots.
10:16
Nice little rose there.
10:19
This is a 30 oz bag of the rounds.
10:24
Yes, we are still going to be doing our
10:27
low carb recipes.
10:30
Just other things just kind of come in
10:31
the way, which is totally fine. We keep
10:34
in mind that we have regular people out
10:36
there who like regular recipes and that
10:38
we have people that like the low carb
10:40
recipes. So, we're trying to make sure
10:42
that we incorporate that for all of you
10:45
guys
10:47
because we don't want to lose y'all.
10:49
Y'all mean so much to us. We love every
10:52
last one of y'all. We love your
10:54
comments. Always comment because we love
10:57
to read your comments.
10:59
Stay with us, you guys.
11:03
I've made lots of tater tot casserles.
11:06
You can go see them out on my recipe
11:08
blog, catherine'splates.com.
11:11
Type in tater tot and they'll all come
11:14
up.
11:16
Lots of them that I've made throughout
11:18
the years. It didn't surprise me at all
11:20
that Joseph wanted this. And Megan has
11:23
never had it, so she would love to try a
11:25
tater tot casserole.
11:28
So, okay, you guys, there we go. Look at
11:31
that. And I still have
11:34
about half the bag left over, so you'll
11:38
know that. All right, let's crack it
11:40
out. Cheese
11:44
right across the top.
11:48
Some bacon
11:50
right across the top.
11:52
And then we'll do the green onions after
11:54
it comes out of the oven and they'll
11:56
stick to the melty cheese and that way
11:58
they don't get too brown in there. Boom.
12:00
Okay, I'm preheating my oven to 350°.
12:04
We're going to bake this for 40 to 45
12:07
minutes until those tater tots are
12:09
cooked through. Nice and crispy on the
12:12
top and that cheese has melted. We're
12:14
going to top it with some green onions.
12:16
You want to cool it down for just a few
12:19
minutes to kind of pull itself together.
12:22
and then dive in. And I'm going to give
12:24
it a try for you. Okay, you guys. Here
12:26
it is in all of its glory. Look at that.
12:29
I topped it with some green onions when
12:31
it came out. Let it rest for just a few
12:34
minutes.
12:35
And I think
12:38
this right here is what I'm after.
12:42
There we go.
12:46
A little bit of green onion on top.
12:50
I think we need a fork. The bite must
12:53
have a tater crown on it.
12:58
And a green onion. Yeah.
13:12
You should have this on a no low carb
13:15
day.
13:19
All right. Are the kids here yet?
13:21
No. All right. Another bite.
13:27
Mhm.
13:32
Those tater tots. Nice and crunchy on
13:35
the outside. They're soft on the bottom
13:38
because of that mixture. And it is so
13:41
flavorful. It is so delicious.
13:45
Mhm.
13:47
I get that chicken in there, too. All
13:49
right, you guys. Cracked out chicken
13:51
tater tot casserole. Are y'all addicted?
