Crack Chicken Casserole
Crack chicken is a rich, decadent mixture of cream cheese, bacon, ranch, and chicken. We turned it into a casserole by tossing it with spaghetti noodles and adding in loads of cheese!

Ingredients
- 16 ounces Spaghetti
- 12 ounces Velveeta
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 3 tablespoons dry Ranch seasoning
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 6 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- ¼ cup diced green onions
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook spaghetti for one minute less than the package directions state. Drain water from the spaghetti.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, heat a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the cream cheese, Velveeta, and milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Stir the ranch seasoning into the cheese sauce.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the spaghetti. Add the chicken, bacon, and green onions and stir well to coat.
- Pour the spaghetti into the prepared baking dish and top with the cheddar cheese.
- Cover dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle with additional green onions and bacon before serving, if desired.

Notes
- Be sure to use the packet of ranch seasoning and not the ranch dip mix or your final dish will be a lot saltier. The seasoning packet has much less sodium than the dip packet.
- You can skip baking this dish if you're in a hurry. Just toss the ingredients together, leaving out the cheddar cheese topping, and eat immediately.
