Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked chicken chopped
- 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix 1 package, dry
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup bacon cooked and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1 can cream of chicken soup 10.5 ounces
- 1 1/2 cups plain crackers crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, ranch seasoning mix, shredded cheddar, chopped bacon, sour cream and cream of chicken soup. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Transfer the chicken mixture to the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Sprinkle them over the chicken layer.
- Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly, the topping is golden brown and the center reaches 165°F on a food thermometer.
Notes
Use dry ranch seasoning mix, not bottled dressing. A 2-quart dish or a 9x13-inch pan also works. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and eat within 3 to 4 days or freeze 3 to 4 months; reheat covered to 165°F.
