A simple, hearty casserole featuring shredded chicken, crispy bacon, creamy ranch dressing, and a crispy tater tot topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (32 ounce) bag frozen tater tots

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, cream of chicken soup, milk, ranch seasoning mix, and sour cream. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the chicken mixture.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the top of the chicken mixture.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the tater tots.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tater tots are golden brown and crisp.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, use ranch dressing instead of the dry seasoning mix and sour cream, adjusting milk slightly for consistency.
  • To make this ahead of time, assemble the casserole completely (without the final cheese sprinkle) and cover it. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the initial bake time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
