Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Step 2
    In a 12-inch skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, stirring often until crispy, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Step 3
    In a medium bowl, use a rubber spatula to soften the cream cheese until very creamy and smooth. Add the sour cream and the ranch seasoning mix, whisking until very well combined. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, chicken, pimientos, 5 sliced green onions, and all but ¼ cup of the bacon.
  4. Step 4
    Spoon the mixture into a 1 quart casserole dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and reserved 1/4 cup of bacon.
  5. Step 5
    Bake on the center rack until bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining sliced green onion.
  6. Step 6
    Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or raw vegetables.
