Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked beef, crumbled

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup frozen broccoli (optional)

1 cup cooked rice or pasta (optional for a heartier casserole)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, ranch seasoning, sour cream, and half of the cheddar cheese until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add in the shredded chicken, cooked beef, and broccoli (if using). Mix until evenly incorporated.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  5. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden and melted.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Omit the chicken and beef, and use a plant-based protein or more vegetables like mushrooms and bell peppers.
  • Low Carb: Skip the rice or pasta and increase the amount of vegetables like cauliflower rice or zucchini.
  • Spicy Version: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes to give your casserole some heat.
  • Add More Veggies: You can add more vegetables like spinach, peas, or green beans for added flavor and nutrition.
