Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 3 Cups Cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1 10 Ounce Can Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 1 10 Ounce Can Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • 1/3 Cup Milk
  • 1 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Packet Ranch Seasoning Mix

Topping

  • 32 Ounce Package Frozen Tater Tots

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix the Chicken Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, cream of chicken soup, condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch seasoning mix, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Then fold in the cooked shredded chicken evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Then layer the frozen tater tots in a single, even layer on top of the chicken mixture to form the crispy topping.
  4. Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked and shredded before adding it to the mixture.
  • You can substitute the soups with homemade versions for a fresher taste.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the casserole for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • This casserole can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated, then baked when ready to serve.
  • Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days stored covered in the refrigerator.
