My wife and I love this dish. Our friends just had a baby and we want to bring this to them so they can freeze it and have when they want. Would this freeze easy?
I think this would freeze well! You could mix it and then add the tater tots and then freeze it that way before baking it.
Been making this for close to 15 years. It’s still requested by my now adult children. That tells you something!! Making it this weekend per request from my son. I sometimes use canned chicken in a pinch and bake the tots first so they are super crispy.
Thanks Susan!
Loved it. Fed our fam of 6 going on 7 with ZERO complaints!
EXCELLENT, it’s great. My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. Just the right in flavor.
Thanks so much because we’ll be making often.☺️
This is my husband’s FAVORITE casserole! I love that it’s got all the delicious buffalo chicken flavor without being so hot that I can’t eat it! Even my one year old loves it!
So glad you guys enjoy this! Thanks for letting me know!
What brand of Buffalo wing sauce do you use? It’s really hard to find now during the pandemic! Or do you have a recipe for a homemade one?
I like sweet baby rays brand if I buy it but you can make it homemade and it’s really simple. I have a recipe here, https://www.thediaryofarealhousewife.com/homemade-buffalo-sauce/
