Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

6 slices of crispy bacon, chopped

2 cups cooked pasta (fusilli or rotini works well)

1 cup ranch dressing

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, corn, and carrots)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked bacon, cooked pasta, ranch dressing, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

      Add Vegetables: Gently fold in the frozen mixed vegetables, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

        Assemble Casserole: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it evenly across the dish.

          Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the casserole mixture.

            Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.

              Garnish: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
