Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

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 it! 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 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.
