Cooking Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, sour cream, and softened cream cheese. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the cooked pasta, diced chicken, crumbled bacon, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl with the ranch sauce. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly coated in the sauce.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly and top with additional cheese if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden on top. Let it cool slightly before serving.
For the best results, consider using high-quality ranch dressing and fresh cheeses to enhance the flavor of your casserole.
If you're short on time, you can utilize pre-cooked chicken and a store-bought ranch seasoning mix for a quicker preparation. Additionally, feel free to customize this dish by adding your favorite vegetables or spices to suit your taste. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole!
