Ingredients

2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
7 slices bacon
1 package (1 oz) ranch dressing mix
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 cups rotisserie chicken

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with oil.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 7 to 9 minutes, then crumble it.
Stir the soups, sour cream, milk, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, ranch mix, pepper, and bacon in a large bowl.
Fold in the chicken, spread the mixture in the baking dish, and cover it with cheddar cheese.
Arrange the tater tots over the cheese and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until hot and golden.
Check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 165 F before serving.
