I recommend using regular sliced bacon that is pre-cooked. Cook the bacon until crispy, let it cool, and then crumble it into small bits. This will give you nice bacon flavor throughout the casserole. You could also use pre-cooked bacon bits, but the texture is better with freshly cooked and crumbled bacon.
Can I substitute the cream of chicken soup with something else?
I don’t recommend substituting the cream of chicken soup in this recipe. The recipe was developed specifically with that creamy condensed soup. Cream of mushroom soup would change the flavor profile. You could potentially use a substitute like chicken gravy, but the consistency may be different. Stick with cream of chicken for best results!
What kind of ranch seasoning mix should I use?
Use a packet of dry ranch seasoning mix, like Hidden Valley. The seasoning mix adds great flavor to the casserole. I don’t recommend using bottled ranch dressing, as it would make the casserole too thin. The dry seasoning mix blends perfectly with the other ingredients.
