Fiesta Ranch Chicken Pasta Casserole

I loved the flavors in this dinner. I’ve seen several variations of Fiesta Ranch Bake before and I combined elements of each of them into one dish that incorporated the ingredients my family enjoys. It turned out great and my kids loved it. 

Ingredients:
1 box pasta shells, cooked as directed
2 jars (16oz each) Alfredo sauce
1 pkt ranch dip mix
2 cups cooked & chopped chicken
2 jalapenos, seeded & diced
1 can corn, drained
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Directions:
1. In large bowl, combine the alfredo sauce & ranch dip mix.
2. Stir in the chicken, corn,  jalapenos, tomatoes, & black beans.
3. Add the cooked pasta; mix well.
4. Pour mixture into 13×9 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
5. Top with cheese.
6. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

The ranch mixed with the Alfredo sauce was so delicious! And adding the Monterey Jack cheese on top sent the flavors into another dimension. I loved the jalapenos in this dish and I’m not usually a fan. They just added a little extra kick.
