If you’re like me, when you see the word “casserole” you’re kind of like whomp-whomp, booorrrring…unless of course if we are talking about this recipe for Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole!

My kids like a little spice, so this is a perfect weeknight dinner for us.

If your kids aren’t a fan of spice, simply leave the buffalo sauce out and serve it on the side for yourself.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole

I’m a planner-ahead-er when it comes to dinners.

So I had some cooked and shredded chicken already waiting for me when I got home from an extra exhausting day of teaching second grade.

All I had to do was combine the cooked chicken, sour cream, dry ranch packet, buffalo sauce, cheese, and frozen tater tots in a bowl.

Once mixed I transferred to a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.

Into a 400 degree oven this goes and I set the timer for 40 minutes and go to relax!

Well, I thought I was going to relax until the kids and dog kept wanting my attention…

at least I could give it to them instead of fussing over dinner though, right?!

Mine was ready to perfection after 40 minutes.

But allow 5 more minutes if it doesn’t look golden and crispy…it’s worth the wait!

I served this yummy chicken tater tot casserole with some green onions on top along with some extra buffalo sauce and ranch 🙂
