📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and lightly grease a medium baking dish (9x9” or 7.5 x 10”).
2
Add the cream cheese, ranch seasoning, Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, mayonnaise, melted butter, worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and ground cayenne to a large bowl.

3
Using an electric hand mixer (or stand mixer), beat the cream cheese and other ingredients until smooth and mostly lump-free.
4
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again until completely combined.
5
Add the chicken and shredded cheddar cheese and fold everything together using a silicone spatula.

6
Transfer the chicken mixture to the bottom of the prepared baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer.
7
Top the buffalo chicken layer with the frozen tater tots; line them up in a single layer to ensure even cooking and browning. (Tip: Spray the tater tots with cooking spray to help with texture and browning).

8
Bake in the preheated oven for about ⏱️ 40 minutes, or until the tater tot tops are golden brown and the casserole mixture is bubbly and hot.
9
Optional: To crisp up the tater tots, set the oven to “broil” at the end of the cooking time and broil for ⏱️ 2-4 minutes**, watching it very carefully. Be ready to pull it out quickly. If your baking dish is not broiler-safe, you can increase the heat to 450ºF and bake for an additional ⏱️ 5 minutes (if desired).
10
Remove from the oven and cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions, a drizzle of ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, or additional hot sauce (if desired).
