Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup, 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup milk, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper.
Stir 3 cups cooked shredded chicken into the soup mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture.
Arrange 16 oz frozen tater tots in a single layer over the cheese.
Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
