Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 425°F, which helps everything cook evenly and gives the tater tots that perfect golden-brown crispiness. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, cream of chicken soup, and mixed vegetables if I’m feeling like it! I stir everything together until well combined, and the ranch dressing coats the chicken and bacon, making the mixture look incredibly creamy and delicious.
