CHICKEN BACON RANCH CASSEROLE
This chicken bacon ranch casserole is a dinner that both of my wonderful (but picky!) children will eat. I can easily make it ahead and then bake it right before serving. Sometimes I add 2 cups of cooked veggies, like peas or chopped broccoli, for a complete meal. -Rebekah Schultz, Mantua, New Jersey
