Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole Bake
Holy moly. This casserole bake was so good. There was a light ranch taste so it wasn't overpowering. It was creamy and the bacon crumbles were so good. This casserole dish took for-ever to make but SO worth it. Jace ate a whole plateful, I did as well and Kevin took some to work today. The original recipe was from Southern Living HERE . We changed our recipe a little bit - using Shells instead of Penne, making our own Ranch Dressing seasoning, using Basil instead of Parsley and Garlic Powder instead of Minced Garlic. Ingredients: 8oz pasta shells, cooked 4 bacon slices, chopped and crumbled 1 Tbsp garlic powder 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 8oz cream cheese 3oz parmesan cheese, shredded 2 Tbsp ranch dressing 1 Tbsp ranch dressing seasoning (homemade or store bought) pepper 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded 2 cups mozzarella cheese PAM cooking spray 2 shakes of Basil Directions: Preheat oven to 375. Cook shells according to directions. Drain and reserve
