Here’s what makes this casserole so irresistible — and why each ingredient matters:
Penne Pasta: Holds the sauce beautifully and adds great texture. You can swap for rotini or shells if that’s what’s in your pantry.
Sour Cream: Adds tang and creaminess that balances the rich sauce.
Ranch Seasoning: The star of the show — bold, herby, and packed with flavor.
Shredded Chicken: Rotisserie chicken works wonders here — fast, flavorful, and tender.
Homestyle Alfredo Sauce: Brings the creamy base with garlic and parmesan goodness.
Cream of Chicken Soup: Adds that classic comfort and blends everything into one velvety mix.
Mozzarella Cheese: Melts like a dream and makes the top layer gooey and golden.
Bacon: Smoky, crispy, and brings a salty crunch to every bite. Cook it fresh or use pre-cooked if you’re short on time.
Green Onions: For a pop of color and fresh bite to cut through the richness.
Variations
Want to switch things up? This casserole is super adaptable:

Veggie Boost: Stir in cooked broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms to sneak in some greens.
Different Cheese: Swap mozzarella with cheddar or Monterey Jack for a new flavor profile.
Low-Carb Option: Use cooked cauliflower florets in place of pasta for a lighter take.
