Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup halal chicken bacon, cooked and crumbled Make sure it’s from a trusted halal provider.
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 bag (32 oz) frozen tater tots
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s hot and ready for your delicious casserole.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled halal chicken bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well mixed for even flavor throughout the dish.
  3. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread the chicken mixture evenly. Then, layer the frozen tater tots on top of the chicken mix, arranging them so they cover the entire dish.
  4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy.
  5. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions, and enjoy straight away!

Notes

To store leftovers, let the casserole cool completely before covering it with plastic wrap or transferring it to an airtight container. It will stay good in the refrigerator for up to three days. For freezing, cover tightly and it can last for up to two months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes until heated through.
