Notes
STORE. Place in a tupperware and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave.
Make a freezer meal. If you plan to freeze this dish, create a little more cream base so add 4 cups chicken broth, 2 ½ tablespoon ranch dressing, and 10 ounces cream cheese. Also, cook the pasta to al dente (about 10 minutes) and remove from the heat.
Allow the dish to cool. Place it in an airtight freezer-safe container for 1-2 months.
To reheat, thaw. Bring it slowly to a boil in a skillet on the stove. Cover, reduce the heat, and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Top with bacon bits and cheese.
