Do you call it a casserole or a hot dish? Either way, Ranch Chicken Tater-Tot Casserole, as we call it, is easy and always a hit!
Another winning recipe from my nephew! Believe it or not, I did not grow up eating tater tot casseroles. I didn’t know they were a thing until I was a full-fledged adult!
Ranch Chicken Tater-Tot Casserole
For the pretty pictures, I added in some carrot sticks to round out this meal. But let’s be real…..that seldom happens in real life on busy nights!
Recipe Notes:
- I love a good rotisserie chicken but if that’s not your jam use your cooked and shredded chicken. Having shredded chicken on hand in the freezer is a great time saver. Freezer Meal Instant Pot Shredded Chicken
- I saved a couple of handfuls of the crumbled bacon to put on top. You can use it all in the hot dish or save some for the top as well.
- The tater tots in the recipe are on the bottom, you can put them on top of the cream mixture as well. Either way works and tastes great!
Need a delicious easy dessert for this meal, definitely make my nephew’s Easy Cherry Dessert!
