Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and a golden finish.
Grease Your Baking Dish - Lightly grease a 9"x13" casserole dish with a touch of olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Mix the Main Ingredients - In a large bowl, combine the thawed tater tots, sour cream, condensed cream of chicken soup, chopped onions, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and half of the melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
Layer in the Casserole Dish - Transfer the mixture into your prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
Prepare the Crunchy Topping - In a separate bowl, toss the cornflakes with the remaining melted butter until coated. Sprinkle this over the casserole.
Add the Cheese & Paprika - Top the casserole with parmesan cheese, followed by a dusting of paprika for color and extra flavor.
Bake to Perfection - Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 45–60 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
Serve & Enjoy! - Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and pair with your favorite sides.
Tips
Here are some simple yet helpful tips to make your casserole the best it can be:
Use Fresh or Frozen Onions: Pre-chopped frozen onions work in a pinch and save time.
Low-Fat Swaps: Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
Try Different Cheeses: Mix cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack for extra depth.
Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on it—too long in the oven and it may dry out.
Let It Rest: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing to keep its shape.
