Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole
A delicious and easy Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked pasta (such as penne)
- 6 strips bacon, cut into small pieces
- 1 jar Alfredo sauce 15 ounce
- 1 packet ranch seasoning 1 ounce
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and adjust the rack to the top third position.
- Boil salted water in a pot and cook the pasta for 1 minute less than the package instructions.
- While the pasta cooks, fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Once done, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Drain the cooked pasta and place it in a 9x13 casserole dish. Pour the Alfredo sauce over the pasta and sprinkle the ranch seasoning on top. Mix well to coat evenly, then add the cooked chicken and half of the bacon. Mix again.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the dish. Top with mozzarella cheese and the remaining bacon.
- Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. For a golden cheese topping, broil for a few minutes (watch closely to prevent burning).
Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in some cooked broccoli or peas with the pasta. This dish pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
