Chicken-Bacon-Ranch Baked Penne
Chicken-Bacon-Ranch Baked Penne
Happy Friday, my foodie friends! Before we begin our weekend fun I wanted to share with you one of the yummiest recipes I made for Pillsbury® recently. Let me introduce to you- Chicken Bacon Ranch Baked Penne! I know it’s a mouthful, but it sure is good!
This delicious casserole is filled with all things comforting. Penne pasta, creamy Alfredo, lots of gooey cheese and bacon. Yep, bacon. That should be enough said right there. But I can’t leave out the chicken and ranch flavor because they really bring the whole thing together. This pasta casserole is really amazing and my kids ate it in about 1 minute flat.
