My quick and easy chicken tater tot casserole recipe includes ground chicken, crumbly bacon bits, ranch dressing, and cream of chicken soup topped with crunchy tater tots cooked to perfection.
Brown the ground chicken and onion together until done, and drain off any grease. I brown my ground meat ahead of time and store it in the freezer to make this quicker.
2 pounds ground chicken, 1 chopped small onion (optional)
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, dry ranch dressing mix, and milk.
1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 cup milk, 1 packet ranch dressing mix
Add the cooked ground chicken and bacon pieces to the mixing bowl and mix again.
1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon bits, 2 pounds ground chicken
Place the ground chicken mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish.
Top with the frozen tater tots.
1 package frozen tater tots (about a pound)
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Notes
A lot of recipes don't have you covering it and I used to do mine that way but I've found it is even better if you cover it up a bit. If you'd like your tater tots nice and golden brown, uncover the casserole dish for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
