  • 6
    When meat is finished, drain all excess grease.

    Combine Sour cream and ranch seasoning in a large bowl. Add 1/2 of each package of cheese to mixture. Then combine pasta, bacon and chicken. Mix well until pasta and chicken and bacon are completely coated. If it looks a little dry, add a few splashes of milk. It should be just between a thick and thin consistency.
