Get ready to dive into a cozy, comforting masterpiece with our Creamy Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Casserole! This hearty dish is the ultimate fusion of flavors, combining tender chicken, crispy bacon, and fluffy potatoes in a creamy, ranch-infused sauce.
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
- Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- Ranch seasoning mix
- Cream of chicken soup
- Sour cream or cream cheese
- Shredded cheese (like cheddar)
- Frozen or fresh diced potatoes
- Optional: green onions or additional seasonings for garnish
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 375°F (190°C).
2. 2. Mix It Up: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and diced potatoes, shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until it’s well-incorporated.
3. 3. Layer and Top: Spread the potato-chicken mixture into a greased baking dish, then top it off with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
4. 4. Bake to Perfection: Pop the casserole into the preheated oven and let it bake for 25-30 minutes, or until it’s hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden. Keep an eye on it to ensure the edges don’t burn.
5. 5. Garnish and Serve: Once the casserole is out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve it hot and watch as your family and friends dive in with delight!
