Three words that ensure a dunk slam at dinner time always? Chicken, bacon, and ranch. Put them all in a saucepan dish with soft, cheesy pasta and a creamy sauce to tie all of them together? Smash.-Slam. Dark. Dark. This popular saucepan recipe is the latest addition to the weekday lineup you never knew you wanted — and you will happily receive thanks all the time. It’s also excellent if you need a crowd-pleasant make-and-take dish or if you want anything that’s well-heated at home.
There’s no doubt that the best part about this chicken-bacon-ranch casserole dish is the short list of ingredients and the super-simple prep. There are plenty of stirring and pouring (not many chopping or fussing!) up to our alley every busy weekend. The bacon adds to the incredibly rich and creamy casserole a salt snap, while the penne pasta is the chewy, hearty part that you’ll dream about later.
