Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb elbow macaroni
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked bacon (crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large pot, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a big mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the cream cheese mixture. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions until well combined.
  • Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. If you’re using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them on top for added crunch.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
