18. #### **Step-by-Step Guide:**
20. **Step 1: Preheat the Oven**
21. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the casserole cooks evenly throughout.
23. **Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Mixture**
24. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until softened but not browned.
25. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook them for another 5-7 minutes, or until they are no longer pink.
27. **Step 3: Combine Ingredients**
28. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken mixture with 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and the cream of mushroom soup. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
30. **Step 4: Add Tater Tots**
31. Carefully fold in the crushed tater tots into your chicken mixture. Make sure they are mixed thoroughly but do not overmix as you want them to stay crisp.
33. **Step 5: Season and Pour Into Dish**
34. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour this mixture into a large, oven-safe dish (9x13 inches works well).
36. #### **Baking the Casserole**
38. **Step 6: Bake the Casserole**
39. Place your casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
41. **Step 7: Serve Hot**
