Buffalo Chicken & Tater Tot Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with the melted butter.
3. Using a 12″ non-stick skillet, fry bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. When it’s done remove pan from heat and move the bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
4. While bacon is frying, grab yourself a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir together popcorn chicken and Buffalo hot sauce using a sturdy rubber spatula. Don’t cheat on this step either: It will take a few minutes of good stirring to get all those chicken pieces delightfully coated.
5. In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl combine sour cream and cream cheese. I found that using a whisk and whisking it for a few minutes did the trick nicely. Mix until there are no more lumps from the cream cheese and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
6. Line the bottom of your greased baking dish with a single layer of tater tots. Using a spatula, plop the cream cheese mixture over your tots and smooth it into an even layer until the tots are covered. Next, toss in your Buffalo chicken and sprinkle the cheese over the chicken.
7. Bake casserole for 30 minutes and then remove from oven when the cheese topping is nice and golden brown. Break your bacon strips up into bits and sprinkle over the top to finish. You can also add a little green onion like I did if you want.
