Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Taters Recipe
We used an extra large cupcake tin and 6 tater tots per cup, which gave us 5 large tater cups. If you use a normal muffin tin and only 4 tater tots, you’d definitely be able to get a few more made.
Ingredients
McCain® Potato & Cauliflower Veggie Taters™
Pre-made Chicken Strips (or shredded chicken would work!)
Monterey Shredded Cheese
Real Bacon Bits
Ranch
Scallions
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
In an extra large muffin tin, place in the tater tots. Add in some cheese, pressing into the cracks between the taters.
Cut the chicken strips into chunks and add to the taters. Sprinkle on some real bacon bits.
Top with cheese. Place in preheated oven. Bake for 13 minutes on middle rack. Move to top rack for another 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
Carefully remove the cups from the muffin tin and drizzle with ranch dressing. Top with scallions and serve.
These are great snacks when you’re running short on time, and they’re quite filling too.
