Servings: 10
Calories: 544kcal
Ingredients
- 12 ounces rotini pasta about 4 cups dry
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 14 ounces evaporated milk 1 can
- 1 ounce ranch salad dressing seasoning mix 1 package
- 3/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 1/2 cups buffalo wing sauce
- 2 1/4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
Optional Toppings:
- ranch dressing
- green onions sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook pasta according to the package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking: In a bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add in the evaporated milk, ¼ of a cup at a time, mixing between each addition. Mixing in the milk slowly will help your mixture to stay smooth and not have small chunks of cream cheese.
- Add the ranch dressing and buffalo sauce. Mix well.
- Add the chicken and 1 ½ cups cheese. Stir to combine.
- Mix in the drained pasta until it is coated.
- Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.
- Add noodle mixture to the casserole. Spread it out evenly.
- Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is bubbly and heated through. I do 25 minutes, then 3 minutes under the broiler on low to crisp up the top.
- Drizzle ranch dressing over the top of the casserole.
- Sprinkle with sliced green onions or bleu cheese crumbles.
