This casserole is so easy to throw together and you can customize it to make it your own by adding veggies to it or a little more cheese. It is very similar to my Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole that we love but haven’t been making since we’ve been eating a more keto-friendly diet.

This goes great with any veggies, rice or caulirice, salad, or some garlic bread. You could even use leftover chicken (or maybe turkey) in the recipe and just cube it or shred it… it would be even easier to put together.
