Ingredients
32 oz frozen tater tots
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
16 oz sour cream
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 pound cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons reserved crumbled bacon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Reserve 2 tablespoons of crumbled bacon for garnish.
In a large bowl, mix cooked chicken, most of the crumbled bacon, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, and shredded cheddar cheese until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with a single layer of frozen tater tots.
Bake in the oven for 40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden and crispy and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and garnish with reserved bacon crumbles and sliced green onions. Serve hot.
Notes
This casserole combines creamy, crispy textures with bold, comforting flavors.
Rotisserie chicken is a great option to save cooking time.
You can assemble this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
The casserole freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before baking.
The crispy tater tots provide a satisfying contrast to the creamy casserole base.
