  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 16 oz medium pasta noodles (cooked al dente)

– 16 oz Alfredo sauce

– 1 tsp salt (to taste)

– 1/2 tsp black pepper (to taste)

– 1 oz Ranch Dressing Mix (dry seasoning)

– 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken

– 1 cup cheddar cheese (divided)

– 2 cups mozzarella cheese (divided)

– 8 slices bacon (cooked and chopped)

– half a block softened cream cheese for extra creaminess

– 3 cups cooked chicken

– 1 cup cheddar

– 2 cups mozzarella

Instructions

1-First Steps: Prep and Cook: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, as that’s the key to melting the cheese perfectly. Cook your 16 oz of medium pasta noodles until they’re al dente, then drain them. While that’s happening, prepare your 3 cups of cooked and shredded chicken using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds taste.

2-First Steps: Prep and Cook: Next, in a large skillet, crisp up your 8 slices of bacon. Once done, chop them and set aside. This step brings that smoky flavor everyone loves. Now, mix the cooked pasta with 16 oz of Alfredo sauce, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 oz Ranch Dressing Mix in a big bowl.

3-Assemble and Bake: Add in the 3 cups of shredded chicken, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and half of the chopped bacon. Stir everything well to coat. Transfer this mix to a 9×13 baking dish, then top with the remaining 1 cup cheddar, 1 cup mozzarella, and the rest of the bacon.

4-Assemble and Bake: Bake for about 20 minutes until it’s bubbly and the cheese is melted. Serve right away for the best taste. If you want it creamier, add half a block of softened cream cheese to the sauce mix before baking. For variations, best homemade Alfredo sauce recipes here can inspire you.
