Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray (or a little vegetable oil)
- 8 slices bacon (8 oz.)
- 8 oz. cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1 1/4 cups light sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup low fat milk
- 1 oz. ranch seasoning (1 packet)
- 2 tsp. hot sauce (such as Tabasco, plus more for serving; optional)
- 5 scallions (divided)
- 3 1/2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
- 24 oz. frozen tater tots (5 1/2 cups)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F with a rack set in the upper third. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Chop bacon. Place bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until bacon is browned and crispy, 10-12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Let cool about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, 1 1/4 cups cheddar cheese, the milk, ranch seasoning, and hot sauce, if using, and whisk until blended.
