Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled turkey bacon, ranch dressing, cream of mushroom soup, milk, dried chives, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Step 3: Add the frozen tater tots and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl. Stir until the tater tots are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Step 4: Pour the tater tot mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the tater tots are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat individual portions in the microwave or bake in the oven until warmed through and cheese is melted again.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.
- For extra crispy tater tots, consider broiling the casserole for the last few minutes of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
