Ingredients
1 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 can / 10-1/2 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 package / 8 oz shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
1 package / 1 oz Hidden Valley ranch dressing and seasoning mix
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 bag / 32 oz tater tots (I use “Ore-Ida Seasoned Tater Tots”)
1/2 cup Applewood bacon, cooked and chopped
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Directions
- Heat oven to 400°f.
- Spray a 13″ x 9″ baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium heat, cook onion in oil for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally (till tender).
- In a large bowl, stir onion, condensed soup, sour cream, milk, 1 cup of cheese, 2 tbsp. of dressing mix, garlic powder, and black pepper until mixed well; stir in chicken.
- Place half of the tater tots in a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread chicken mixture on top of potatoes.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup bacon on the top.
- In a large resealable plastic bag, add remaining tater tots with remaining dressing mix; seal and shake bag to coat.
- Arrange on top of casserole.
- Bake for 50 minutes.
- Turn oven up to 425°f and top the casserole with remaining 1 cup of cheese, and 1/4 cup bacon.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tater tots are lightly browned.
- Top with green onions, enjoy!
Notes
- I buy the big canister of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning powder, if you use that the measurement is 3 tbsp. which is equal to the 1 oz packet.
- I like to serve this with a green salad with cucumber, tomatoes, croutons, and topped with Catalina dressing.
