Ingredients

For the Casserole Filling

3 cups shredded cooked chicken Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream Use reduced-fat for a lighter version.
1/2 cup milk Can be reduced to 1/4 cup for a thicker filling.
2 tbsp dry ranch seasoning
1.5 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese Can substitute with cheddar or a Mexican blend.
4 slices cooked bacon Crumble before adding to the casserole.
5 cups frozen tater tots Fresh potatoes can be used as an alternative.

For Garnish

1/4 cup sliced green onions For garnish before serving.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, dry ranch seasoning, and 1 cup of cheese until well mixed.
Spread the mixture evenly in the greased dish and sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon on top.
Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer over the filling.

Baking

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add the remaining cheese; bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly.

Serving

Garnish with remaining bacon and green onions before serving warm.

Notes

Serve hot straight from the baking dish. Great paired with a simple green salad or steamed veggies. For added crispiness, bake uncovered for 5–10 minutes at the end or broil briefly while watching closely.
