You will need the following items to make this recipe:
Measuring cups and spoons, cutting board, knife, large bowl, tongs or silicone spoon, 9×13 Casserole dish
Ingredients:
- 32 oz bag of Tater Tots
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1-2 jalapenos, chopped
- 2-3 green onions, diced and divided
- 1 cup cooked and chopped bacon, divided
- 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken
- 3 cups fiesta cheese, shredded and divided
Directions:
- First things first, preheat your oven to a cozy 375 degrees. While that’s warming up, grab some fresh jalapeños and green onions. Slice the jalapeños to your desired level of heat and chop the green onions.
- Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine a block of creamy cream cheese with a dollop of sour cream.
Add in those chopped jalapeños, half of the green onions, a good portion of crispy bacon (save some for later!), your cooked chicken, and about half of the shredded cheese.
Mix everything together until it’s a creamy, delicious blend of flavors—trust me, this part is going to be amazing!
- Next, take a moment to grease up a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Once that’s ready, layer the bottom with tater tots, spreading them out evenly (this will be the fantastic base for your dish).
- Now, take that creamy mixture you just made and spread it generously over the tater tots. Make sure to cover them well so every bite is bursting with flavor!
- Don’t forget the finishing touches! Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top for that gooey goodness, then add the rest of the crispy bacon and sprinkle the leftover green onions on top for a pop of color and flavor.
- Once it’s all assembled, bake uncovered in the oven for about 30 minutes. While it’s baking, your kitchen is going to smell incredible! After the timer goes off, pull it out, let it cool for a few moments, then dig in and enjoy your tasty creation! Happy cooking!
