Crack Tater Tot Casserole Ingredients
Make it Heartier: Stir in 2–3 cups of shredded chicken, cooked ground beef, or sliced or crumbled sausage for an extra filling meal.
Swap the Seasoning: If you don’t have a ranch packet, make my homemade ranch seasoning. Use about 2 to 2½ tablespoons.
Low Sodium: Choose low-sodium or no-sodium cream of chicken soup to better control the salt level.
Change the Soup: Cream of celery or cream of mushroom can be used in place of cream of chicken for a slightly different flavor.
