Creamy, cheesy Crack Chicken Lasagna! Your family will come running for this easy casserole with ranch seasoning, bacon and rotisserie chicken.
This lasagna also makes a great freezer meal. It’s best to remove it from the freezer the day before you want to cook it and allow it to defrost in the fridge overnight. Then it won’t overcook in the oven. Freeze for 6-8 weeks.
