I have mentioned before that my husband is a casserole fanatic. I have a huge collection of recipes that I make, each guaranteed to put a smile on his face.

But, you guys know I like to play around in the kitchen. I am notorious for modifying and changing up recipes based on ingredients that I might have handy…or just to throw a new spin on an old favorite. Well, hold on to your hats—I have a recipe that you are going to love. My Chicken Bacon Ranch Veggie Tot Casserole adds a veggie spin to an old favorite.

Chances are pretty good that you have had the version of this casserole with regular potato tots…but I personally think that the Veggie Tot version is even BETTER. I have made this recipe with all the different varieties and they are all just slightly different, but still absolutely amazing.

Just grab your favorite Veggie Tots and add a new family favorite to your menu this week!
