There are a lot of options to choose from, but when it comes to casserole recipes, this one by The Country Cook on YouTube is something that I would choose any day!

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces of penne pasta cooked and drained
• 4 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
• 1 tsp of minced garlic
• ¾ cup of sour cream
• 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1 packet or 2 tbsp of ranch dressing mix
• ¼ tsp of black pepper
• 1 (15-ounce) jar of Alfredo pasta sauce
• 2 cups of cooked and chopped chicken
• Freshly chopped parsley, for topping, optional

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F, then grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a nonstick cooking spray, and set it aside. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the sour cream, ranch dressing mix, garlic, pepper, Alfredo sauce, and a cup of mozzarella cheese, then give them a good mix until well combined. Add the chicken and penne pasta, then gently mix them together until well combined and incorporated.

Step 2

Pour it into the prepared baking dish spreading it nicely and evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese all over the top followed by the bacon pieces, then cover the top with aluminum foil, and place it in the preheated oven to bake for about 20 minutes or until bubbly and the cheese has melted. Garnish with parsley, then serve, and enjoy!
