Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Cooked and shredded chicken | 2 cups |
| Cooked and crumbled bacon | 1 cup |
| Frozen shredded hashbrowns | 16 oz |
| Sour cream | 16 oz |
| Can cream of chicken soup | 10.5 oz |
| Melted unsalted butter | 4 tbsp |
| Packet ranch seasoning | 1 oz |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 2 cups |
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This sets the stage for the perfect casserole bake.
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded hashbrowns, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, melted butter, 1.5 cups shredded cheese, and ranch seasoning. Give it a thorough mix for a creamy and flavorful base.
- Incorporate Chicken and Bacon: Stir in the cooked and shredded chicken, followed by the irresistible crumbled bacon. This adds layers of savory goodness to your casserole.
- Spread Evenly: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread the mixture evenly. This ensures every bite is a harmonious blend of flavors.
- Cheese and Bacon Topping: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and bacon over the mixture in the baking dish. This creates a golden, cheesy crust that’s simply irresistible.
- Bake to Perfection: Pop your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake for 40 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the casserole is heated through. The anticipation is worth the wait!
