Description

Creamy, cheesy, and comforting, this chicken bacon ranch casserole will be out of the oven in 20 minutes. It’s the perfect weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (2 cloves)
  • 2 tbsp Ranch Dressing Seasoning mix
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup (230g) sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 7 slices of bacon cooked, drained, and crumbled, divided – 3-4 tbsp for on top, rest in casserole
  • 8 ounces penne pasta, cooked and drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a 9×13 inch casserole dish, combine the shredded chicken, garlic, seasoning mix, soup, sour cream, and one cup of mozzarella cheese. Set aside about 4 tablespoons of the crumbled bacon and add the rest to the mixture.
  3. Add the pasta to the pan and gently stir to coat the pasta with the sauce, then spread evenly into the pan.
  4. Top the pasta with the remaining mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon, then bake for 15-20 minutes, until bubbly and warm and the cheese is melted. You can bake it covered or uncovered. Uncovered will give you a more crispy top.
  5. Serve warm.
