Notes

  • STORE. Place in a tupperware and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave.
  • Make a freezer meal. If you plan to freeze this dish, create a little more cream base so add 4 cups chicken broth, 2 ½ tablespoon ranch dressing, and 10 ounces cream cheese. Also, cook the pasta to al dente (about 10 minutes) and remove from the heat.
  • Allow the dish to cool. Place it in an airtight freezer-safe container for 1-2 months. 
  • To reheat, thaw. Bring it slowly to a boil in a skillet on the stove. Cover, reduce the heat, and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Top with bacon bits and cheese.
