Notes

Ingredient Notes

1. Bacon- I prefer Hormel’s microwave bacon. It’s quick, mess-free, and perfectly crispy.
2. Chicken- Rotisserie chicken is a quick and flavorful option. Also feel free to use leftover grilled chicken or even canned chicken.
3. Shredded Cheese- For the best melty texture, grate your own cheese. Pre-shredded varieties also have anti caking agents which can be grainy when melted.
4. Tater Tots- I like mini tater tots as they cook faster and get extra crispy.
