Chicken Broccoli Bacon Ranch Casserole with Shredded Tater Tot Cheddar Topping is a casserole with a creamy filling of soup, half and half, sour cream, chicken, bacon, broccoli,and ranch dressing. It is topped with shredded tater tots and cheddar cheese, then baked until 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.
In a microwave safe bowl, heat the tater tots 30 seconds at a time until they can be crumbled. Combine with the cheese.
Sprinkle tater tot-cheddar topping evenly over the mixture.
Bake 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and mixture is bubbly.
The tater tots will become crispy.
Serve hot.
This Chicken Broccoli Bacon Ranch Casserole can also be made with different vegetables. I have used asparagus instead of the broccoli.
