A creamy chicken casserole with bacon, ranch, broccoli and then topped with shredded tater tots and cheddar cheese. It is baked until cheese is melted and mixture is bubbly.Everyone has a casserole that is an old family favorite.  Our family has served a version of a chicken and broccoli casserole since the 1970’s.  Last week I had all of these ingredients on hand and decided to make a new version of ours. I used a rotisserie chicken which is so convenient.

I like to serve casseroles that cover all food groups like meat, veggies, and dairy. This one is a delicious combination of all of these.
Bacon, ranch, potatoes and cheese are always a winner.

Here are the ingredients I used for this casserole.

Spray a 9 inch baking dish with no stick cooking spray and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, half and half, and hidden valley ranch dressing to a bowl.  Whisk together until smooth.

Fold in the broccoli, salt-pepper, bacon, and chicken.

Spread mixture into the baking dish.

Bake 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and mixture is bubbly.
The tater tots will become crispy.

Serve hot.

This delicious chicken casserole can also be made with different vegetables. I have used asparagus instead of the broccoli.

I love creating casserole dishes that can be prepped ahead, and baked when you need them.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Casserole is another great one to try.
