Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole★

This casserole is easy to make, tastes great, and reheats really well later.

Ingredients

1 lb penne pasta
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 jar (15 oz) alfredo pasta sauce
1/2 cup ranch dressing
6 slices cooked chopped bacon
2 cups (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
panko breadcrumbs, if desired
chopped parsley, if desired

Cook and drain pasta

While pasta is cooking, shred the chicken and cook/chop the bacon.

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease or spray 13x9 inch pan

In a large bowl, combine pasta, chicken, alfredo sauce and ranch dressing. Stir to mix thoroughly. You can mix in a portion of the cheese and bacon here if you like.

Pour mixture in pan; spread evenly.

Sprinkle bacon evenly over top, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. You can add the panko breadcrumbs here, if desired.

Bake 15-20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Let stand 5 minutes to cool before serving. Sprinkle the parsley on top, if desired.
