Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped cooked chicken
  • 16 oz. sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 (1 oz.) package Original Ranch Dressing Mix
  • 1 (3 oz) bag real bacon pieces
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 lb bag frozen tater tots
  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, ranch dressing mix, bacon pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Then gently fold in the frozen tater tots, making sure they are coated with the mixture.
  3. Assemble casserole: Spoon the chicken and tater tot mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Add topping: Sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the casserole for a cheesy crust.
  5. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the tater tots are golden and crispy on top.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious, comforting casserole.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken from leftover rotisserie or grilled chicken for convenience.
  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup with a homemade white sauce for a fresher taste.
  • Adding chopped green onions or parsley on top before serving adds a fresh note.
  • Make sure not to thaw the tater tots before mixing to maintain their crispiness after baking.
  • This casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
  • For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese.
