Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 16 oz sour cream
- 10.5 oz unsalted cream of chicken soup
- 1 oz ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup chopped cooked bacon
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 30 oz frozen tater tots
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked chicken, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, ranch dressing mix, chopped bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well mixed. Tip: Make sure the chicken is evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Gently fold in the frozen tater tots until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Tip: Be careful not to break the tater tots while mixing.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden on top. Tip: Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to ensure it doesn’t over-brown.
Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in some diced green onions or jalapeños. You can substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese for a different taste.
