Description

A creamy and comforting Southern-style spaghetti bake featuring shredded chicken, a rich ranch-seasoned cream cheese sauce, melted cheddar, and crispy bacon. This easy casserole is perfect for family dinners and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook spaghetti until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the cooked chicken, 1½ cups of the cheddar cheese, and the Parmesan cheese to the cream sauce. Fold in the drained spaghetti until evenly coated.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese and the crumbled bacon over the top.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let the Southern spaghetti bake rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, use rotisserie chicken.
  • Feel free to substitute turkey or ham for chicken, or add sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian option.
  • Add a few dashes of hot sauce if you prefer a spicier Southern spaghetti bake.
