Description
Cheddar Ranch Chicken Tater Tot Bake is a mouthwatering, comfort-food dish that combines the irresistible flavors of creamy cheddar cheese, tangy ranch dressing, and tender chicken, all nestled between a crispy layer of golden tater tots.
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen tater tots
- 2 cup cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cup frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and the frozen mixed vegetables (if using). Stir until all the ingredients are well-mixed and the filling is creamy and cohesive.
3. Spread the chicken mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of the chicken mixture, covering it completely.
4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
