Sunday Supper, Chicken & Bacon Ravioli Alfredo
The guys at my house love Chicken Alfredo
HHjr usually makes it with grilled chicken,
Alfredo sauce and egg noodles or spaghetti
I decided to amp it up a notch with bacon,
chicken ravioli, and cheese tortellini and bake it in a casserole
They were pretty happy, there wasn’t much left!
This casserole is assembled earlier in the day,
refrigerated, and then it goes in the oven at dinner time
The hardest part of making this casserole
is cutting up the rotisserie chicken,
you don’t even have to precook the ravioli and tortellini!*
*This calls for fresh refrigerated pasta, I don’t know if dry pasta would work
I have found that the easiest way to do the chicken
is to use my fingers and just pull it off and shred it with my hands
HHjr discovered this microwave ready bacon recently
and it’s a game changer!
This Hormel Black Label Bacon is raw bacon packaged
in a vented plastic pouch with a thick paper towel
Each package has 4 strips and all you do is put it in the microwave
and cook it on high for 2-4 minutes
Remove it from the pouch and it’s ready to enjoy
or to put in a casserole, salad or soup
Put a thick layer of sauce {about 1/2 jar or 1 cup}
into the bottom of a large deep casserole
Top with 1/2 of ravioli, tortellini, chicken and bacon
Season with black pepper
Top with 1/2 of each cheese
Repeat layers,
1/2 jar sauce, pasta, chicken and bacon
Then instead of cheese,
pour the remaining jar of sauce over all and then top with cheese
Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours
Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before baking
Loosen foil so dish is still covered but air can circulate
and bake for 30 minutes
Uncover and continue cooking for 15 minutes or until bubbling
Serve it up!

Can never go wrong with bacon and cheese. The casserole looks so yum, Jenna.
Thanks Angie, not exactly gourmet but it sure was good!
As I have come to expect from you Jenna, you have shared with us another easy and delicious recipe. Thank you!
Thanks Bernadette, I’m always looking for shortcuts!
Jenna, we love any dish with pasta. This is a perfect Sunday supper than can be prepared earlier in the day and enjoyed later. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a beautiful Sunday!
Thanks so much Pam!
That’s quite a pasta supper!
Dangerously easy!
Looks and sounds amazing!
Thank you!
Yummy Jenna….another recipe for my recipe file. thanks for another use for a rotisserie chicken. Have a beautiful week.
Thank you sweet Kari!
This recipe is perfect for dinner tonight. Sunday blessings to you and your family!
Thank you Mary, have a great week!
You find so many handy, delicious shortcuts to good meals.
I love shortcuts Linda, life is tough enough 🙂
Jenna, I’m not surprised that there was almost nothing left of this casserole – it sounds absolutely delicious! I can only imagine how 2 teenage boys must have devoured it and what a great meal it must have been (I’ve had experience with raising boys and their endless appetites). Our grocery store deli prepares pulled chicken so that makes it even easier, especially if you have to adapt it to two. Thanks for sharing and wishing you a very happy Monday!
Thank you Kim! I am going to ask at my store if they’ll pull the chicken for me, that would be wonderful!
Comfort food at it’s best Jenna and good to the last bite! I buy a rotisserie chicken weekly, it’s so convenient for salads, soups, or quesadillas. Happy Tuesday ♥
Thank you Mary, rotisserie chicken is my new favorite shortcut 🙂
Oooh my I want to make this, Jenna! I have most of the ingredients already. I have not tried that bacon but it sounds easy. Thanks for sharing another wonderful meal that your family loves.
Thanks Kitty, this bacon is amazing and it’s so easy to cook, just a few minutes in the microwave and no mess to clean up!

Isn’t that bacon convenient, it has spoiled me! Thanks Jill~
