Loaded BBQ Bacon Ranch Tater Tot Casserole

Print Recipe

A hearty and flavorful casserole featuring tater tots, seasoned ground beef, bacon, cheese, and a tangy BBQ ranch sauce, baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, green beans, lima beans, corn)
  • 1 (16 oz) package tater tots
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until beef is browned and onion is tender. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in mixed vegetables, barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, black pepper, and paprika. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Transfer mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Top evenly with tater tots and sprinkle with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until tater tots are golden and cheese is melted.

Notes

For extra flavor, use a blend of cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella. Substitute ground turkey for ground beef for a lighter option. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
