Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare Slider Buns: Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in the prepared baking dish, fitting them snugly together to form a single layer.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, crumbled bacon, and ranch seasoning mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Layer Mixture: Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of slider buns in the baking dish, using a spatula to smooth it out into an even layer.
- Form Sandwiches: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the chicken and cheese mixture, forming sandwiches.
- Drizzle Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the tops of the slider buns.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove Foil: After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the tops of the sliders are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish the Crack Chicken Sliders Casserole with chopped fresh chives, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve: Slice the casserole into individual sliders and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Crack Chicken Sliders Casserole!
