    Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole

    March 11, 2016 by Kristin 154 Comments

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole is packed with flavor and combines chicken, pasta, ranch seasoning, crumbled bacon, and cheese in a tasty dish!

    If you follow my blog, you know I love a good casserole. Not only are they typically so simple to throw together, but they provide great leftovers and are budget/kid friendly! Who doesn’t like cooking one meal and being able to enjoy it for two nights, right?!

    Add in some bacon to the casserole and I am in Heaven!! This dish literally is mouth watering yummy and PACKED with flavor. Seasoned chicken, chopped up bacon, Alfredo sauce, and pasta…..what more could you ask for, right??

    Last week, I whipped this up in the afternoon before the kids got home from school. Once dinner rolled around, I popped it in the oven and minutes later, it was on the table ready for devouring. The kids and my hubby all went crazy over this and the leftovers were even better!

    Not only is this a quick dinner to prepare, but it is also fairly inexpensive!

    Next time you are short on time, be sure to throw this Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole together. Your family will thank you!!! Enjoy!
