Tater tot casserole is a classic dinner choice for the family gathering. However, you could change it up a bit with three other classic flavors. I am talking about chicken, bacon, and ranch. With these flavors in your arsenal, you are bound to prepare a meal that is sure to please.
The chicken is best prepared by cutting it into small cubes first, then cooking in a 10 inch skillet along with butter and the diced onion. The tater tots can be mixed in with all the other ingredients, or can be placed in rows on top. In this recipe I mixed them all together.
When you combine these flavors together, you will have a new family favorite they are sure to request again and again. If you have not yet tried chicken bacon ranch tater tot casserole I can tell you that you will not regret it. If you have tried it, I recommend trying different styles of tater tots or even frozen shredded hashbrowns. This is the great joy of cooking. Enjoy!!
