Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix well until smooth and thoroughly combined.
3. Stir in the shredded or diced cooked chicken, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese into the buffalo cream cheese mixture. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed and coated.
4. Pour the buffalo chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
5. Arrange the frozen tater tots in a single layer over the buffalo chicken mixture, covering the entire surface as much as possible.
6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the tater tots.
7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tater tots are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Once out of the oven, let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
