Ingredients
  

Main 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

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and set aside 2 tablespoons of crumbled bacon for later.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, most of the crumbled bacon, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
Assembling the Casserole
  1. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
  2. Top the mixture with a single layer of frozen tater tots.
Baking
  1. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until tater tots are golden brown and crisp and the casserole is bubbling.
  2. Once done, take it out of the oven and sprinkle with the reserved bacon crumbles and fresh green onions.
Serving
  1. Serve hot and enjoy with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt and use turkey bacon. You can prepare the casserole the night before and store it in the fridge before baking.
