What makes this casserole absolutely delicious, besides our beloved bacon of course, is the creamy sauce. The combination of cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and ranch seasonings creates our creamy sauce. You get two great recipes from this dish. The sauce I use is our homemade ranch dressing!
