Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz rotini pasta
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cooked crumbled bacon
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook pasta al dente, about 1 minute less than package directions, drain and set aside.
  2. Whisk cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch mix until smooth. Whisk in BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir the pasta, chicken, black beans, bacon, and ¾ cup of the cheddar into the sauce until coated. Transfer to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and scatter reserved ¼ cup cheddar on top.
  4. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, until bubbling and golden.
  5. Turn broiler to high. Top the casserole with crispy fried onions and broil 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely until deep golden. Rest 1 minute, then scoop and serve.

Notes

Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes after baking so the scoops come out clean. If you like extra sauce, drizzle a little more BBQ sauce on top right before serving.
