BuzzFeed Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole

As a busy parent, I've learned to keep a bag of Ore-Ida Tater Tots potatoes in my freezer for those crazy days when time is scarce.

Introducing the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Casserole, made with chicken, buffalo ranch sauce, and of course, Tater Tots.

For me, it's spicy food and tater tots - who knew?! My 7-year-old is a big fan of salsa and hot sauce, just like his dad. And as for my older kids, they love French fries and Tater Tots potatoes almost as much as they love their favorite video games.

Here are some fun toppings you can add to take it to the next level:

* Chopped green chilies for a mild heat and Southwestern twist

* Salsa for dipping or drizzling over individual portions

* Diced tomatoes for a burst of freshness

* Sliced black olives for a savory, briny flavor

* Crushed tortilla chips for added texture and corn flavor

* Chopped cilantro or parsley for a burst of freshness and color

* Avocado slices for creamy contrast to the spicy buffalo chicken

* Sliced jalapeños for extra heat and pop of color

* Sour cream for creaminess and coolness

* Crispy bacon bits for added flavor and crunch

It's all about personal preference, but these toppings and garnishes are sure to please even the pickiest eaters. So go ahead, get creative, and enjoy this delicious Buffalo Chicken Tater Tot Casserole with your family!
