Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425F.
In a large mixing bowl combine 1 cup of sour cream, 1 10.5oz can of cream of celery soup and 3/4 cup of milk and whisk to combine.
To that, add 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, 2 tsp dried parsley, 1/2 tsp dried dill, 1 tsp freeze dried chives, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper and whisk until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
To the large mixing bowl of sauce, fold in 2/3 of your combined cheeses, reserving 1/3 for later, and then also fold in 3/4 cup celery and 1 lb cooked diced or shredded chicken.
Pour the chicken mixture into a 9 x 13 casserole dish and top with an even layer of tater tots.
Bake the casserole uncovered for 35 minute at 425F until the sauce starts to bubble up through the sides and the tater tots are crispy and golden on top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 of combined mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the casserole and bake for another 5 minutes at 425F until the cheese gets nice and melty.
Serve hot, garnished with diced green onions if you like and extra buffalo sauce and crumbled blue cheese on the side for topping.
