Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) cooked chicken, shredded

2 cups frozen tater tots

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

1 cup ranch dressing

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup green onions, sliced

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Sauce: In a large bowl, mix together the ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and half of the green onions to the sauce mixture. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.

        Layer the Casserole: In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread the cooked chicken mixture evenly across the bottom.

          Add Tater Tots: Carefully layer the frozen tater tots on top of the chicken mixture, arranging them in a single layer.

            Cheesy Topping: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the tater tots, followed by the remaining green onions.

              Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired and enjoy this loaded goodness!
