Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crack Chicken Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the ranch seasoning packet. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in the cooked shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the bacon bits into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, then spread the chicken mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture, followed by the rest of the bacon bits.
  6. Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
  7. Once baked, allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
