In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken with microwaved veggies and soup/milk mixture. Spread in buttered or greased casserole ( 9″x13″) dish. Top with 1 cup shredded cheese, then tater tots. Top tater tots with remaining  1 cup cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes in 425F oven or until tater tots are browned. Note: you can use a variety of veggies for this recipe.
