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.
