Recipe: Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole with Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4 cups potatoes, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lb chicken breasts, cooked and diced
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
Directions:
- Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and have developed a golden color.
- Mix Casserole Ingredients: While the potatoes roast, in a large bowl, mix the cooked and diced chicken with the crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, and sour cream. This mixture should be creamy and well combined.
- Combine Potatoes with Other Ingredients: Once the potatoes are roasted, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Add the roasted potatoes to the chicken mixture, stirring well to ensure the flavors meld together.
- Assemble and Bake: Transfer the mixed ingredients into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top evenly with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking, garnish the casserole with chopped green onions for a fresh, crisp contrast to the rich and creamy base.
