A rich and creamy Southern spaghetti bake with tender chicken, ranch flavor, and melted cheese – a comforting family favorite.

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)

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 bowl, mix cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, ranch mix, garlic powder, and pepper until smooth.

4. Fold in cooked chicken, 1½ cups cheddar, Parmesan, and cooked spaghetti.

5. Pour mixture into baking dish. Top with remaining cheddar and crumbled bacon.

6. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10–15 more minutes until bubbly and golden.

7. Let rest 5–10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut.

You can swap in turkey, ham, or even sautéed veggies.

Add a few dashes of hot sauce for a spicy twist.
