We’ve created a creamy, cheesy supper that will have you hooked from the first mouthful. Seriously, everyone who’s tried it has gone back for seconds (and thirds), and no point in fighting need. This spaghetti bake consistently outperforms any attempt at self-control. Our cheesy chicken spaghetti bake combines a variety of ingredients, including a few cupboard staples, to create a smooth sauce that coats the chicken and spaghetti and bakes to perfection.

We used velveeta instead of cheddar cheese as the sauce’s foundation. While you are welcome to substitute cheddar, we’ve discovered (based on how many times our friends and family have requested we make this) that velveeta melts more quickly and produces a creamier sauce than ordinary cheese.

In addition to the cheese, we used cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, and dry ranch mix to make the sauce. The ranch mix adds a lot of flavor to the dish, which is then topped with cheese and bacon before being baked until melted, golden, and bubbly. This spaghetti bake is a must-have for everyone, so make it this week!
