My sister made this for our family reunion and everyone begged for the recipe. It is incredible.

If you like things a little saucier, add an extra 1/4–1/3 cup ranch dressing to the mixture before baking. For a bit of heat, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of hot sauce or use a spicy ranch. You can swap cheddar for a shredded cheese blend (like cheddar-jack or colby-jack) or use pepper jack for a kick. To lighten things up slightly, use turkey bacon and a light ranch dressing; you can also use half biscuits and half steamed broccoli florets for more veggies. For meal prep, cook and crumble the bacon and shred the chicken up to 2 days ahead, then assemble and bake when you’re ready. If you’re cooking for a crowd that includes picky eaters, keep the base recipe as-is and set out toppings like sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, or extra ranch on the side so everyone can customize their plate.
