Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook the spiral pasta according to package directions, then drain and transfer to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    In the same pan, combine the milk, ranch salad dressing, and ranch dressing mix until smooth. Stir in the cubed cream cheese and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the creamy ranch sauce over the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Mix in the cubed chicken, crumbled bacon, and 1 cup of the shredded Colby cheese.

  4. 4

    Transfer the pasta mixture to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of Colby cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    If desired, sprinkle the top with sliced green onions before serving.
