Looking for a comforting one-dish dinner that’s packed with bold flavors and easy to prep? This Chicken Bacon Crunch Casserole combines juicy shredded chicken, creamy ranch-seasoned sauce, and crispy tater tots for the ultimate family favorite.

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
16 oz sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
1 bag (about 32 oz) frozen tater tots
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

2. Mix the Base:

In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1½ cups of shredded cheddar. Stir until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

3. Layer the Casserole:

Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the baking dish. Top with a single layer of frozen tater tots.

4. Bake:

Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

5. Top and Finish:

Remove from oven and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the top. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

6. Serve:

Let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot!

Tips for Success:

Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
For extra crunch, broil the top for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Try mixing in steamed broccoli or green peas for added veggies.
