Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using cooking spray, lightly grease 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Cook the bacon in a large skillet. Into pieces, chop the cooked bacon.
Step 3: Place the tater tots, cooked bacon, and cheeses in a large bowl, then pour into the greased baking dish.
Step 4: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, Ranch mix, and milk, then pour this over the tater tot mixture. If baking later, cover the casserole and store it in the fridge.
Step 5: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until the eggs are set.
