Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole- One heck of a family-pleasing dish!

Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole- One heck of a family-pleasing dish!

With pasta, chicken, Ranch flavor and BACON how can you go wrong? You can’t.

Sometimes it is best to not over think food. I have a habit of doing that and you know what? Sometimes you just need something that tastes good and you know your family will eat it. No wasted time, energy or money. This is just that dish.

Most kids like the ingredients and if they don’t then this can easily be split into 2 separate baking dishes like I did. One that is ‘veggie free’ for my son and one with ‘all the veggies’ for the rest of us. I added fresh tomatoes to this (but you could easily use well drained canned diced tomatoes), fresh red pepper and diced onions. I followed the formula of the very popular Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza Casserole recipe created by BeyerBeware. I have made this a few times as it is a great dish to bring to get together’s and pitch-in’s.

This time I reduced the amount of alfredo sauce I used because my family and I are kind of odd- we like a thicker, dryer casserole. The results were fantastic just like the original recipe and just the way we like it!
