Classic baked mac and cheese gets a comforting and family-friendly chicken bacon ranch flavor twist!

Struggling to get your kids to eat home-cooked dinners that DON’T involve chicken nuggets?  Make this kid-approved Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac and Cheese Casserole and watch them practically lick their plates!

Show of hands, who here has a picky kid?  *frantically waves both hands to represent both picky children*  It never fails; I lovingly make a home-cooked meal that, on paper, they should love (ie. no onions, green things, etc)… and as soon as I put the meal on the table they exclaim that it looks/smells gross and that they’re not eating it.  Without trying it.  Barely giving it a glance.  Makes a parent want a BIG glass of wine, amiright?!

That scenario happens to me a LOT, so when I was creating this recipe, I was determined to make it so kid-friendly that they couldn’t refuse it.  And it worked!  I mean, it’s hard to go wrong with pasta, a 3 cheese sauce, chicken, ranch, and plenty of bacon.
