Ingredients
  

1 lb. (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

1 cup (240ml) ranch dressing

1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup (150g) cooked bacon, chopped

1 (16 oz / 450g) bag frozen tater tots

1 cup (240ml) cream of chicken soup

1/2 cup (120ml) milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup (15g) chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Combine the base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, cream of chicken soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

      Prepare the baking dish: Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

        Layer the casserole: Spread the chicken mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. On top of this mixture, arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer, covering the entire surface.

          Bake the casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.

            Add the finishing touch: After baking, remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top and return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just until the cheese melts.

              Garnish and serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
