This Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole is loaded with creamy Alfredo sauce, ranch seasoning, chicken, bacon, and baked with cheese. The perfect comfort food and a dinner that won over my entire family! The flavors will be a family favorite for years to come!
Who doesn't love good comfort food?
Creamy and cheesy, does comfort food get any better than that? This recipe was pretty simple and a perfect recipe for leftovers. Leftover shredded chicken or bacon from breakfast? Save it and toss it together with noodles, sauce, and cheese then dinner is ready. I took the easy way out and used a jar of Alfredo sauce instead of making it homemade. My family didn't mind though, they ate up every last bite!
Since I used a jar of Alfredo, I seasoned it with dry ranch seasoning and mixed it all with my cooked chicken, bacon, and pasta. Once I mixed it all up I added some cheese and baked! Easy right? And it's so good, trust me! You will have to try it out.
How to make Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole:
Time Saving Tip:
This recipe is perfect with leftover chicken. I love using my chicken from my all-purpose slow cooker chicken. Make it ahead of time and use it all week long. I use it for easy wraps or salads for lunch. Then I add it to casseroles or soups for dinner.
Cooking Tips:
- No Rotini? No problem! Just use any of your favorite pasta for this recipe.
- Use a homemade ranch seasoning to enhance the flavors.
- Add veggies for a complete meal. We love to toss in frozen peas, corn, or broccoli before baking to add more to the casserole.
- Try using cooked rice instead of pasta for a fun new way to make this casserole.
Ranch Seasoning:
If you can't find ranch seasoning in the store try making your own. You can add more or less of any spice to create a seasoning to your taste.
- ½ cup dry buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Mix together and store in an air tight container. Measure and use according to directions.
