You can’t go wrong with making this Chicken Bacon Ranch Tater Tot Casserole for the family. It’s an easy recipe to throw together especially on a busy night when you don’t have a lot of time to cook. Ingredients are simple and ones you probably already have in the house.
Casseroles are traditional comfort food. Occasionally I talk to someone who never makes a casserole and I have to wonder why!!
Some people think that casseroles came about as a way to stretch food further. It was an economical way to use up different kinds of foods in a delicious way.
Casseroles are typically EASY to make so they are perfect for home cooks.
I love the fact that I can add lots of veggies to a meal without my kids minding so much. The veggies in a casserole get eaten more often then if the same veggie is just a side dish on the plate.
Casseroles make the best leftovers so lunch the next day is already done.

How To Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Tater Tot Casserole
