Now that I have your attention, let's get the bacon crispy and then remove from the pan, drain all but about a tablespoon of bacon grease. While the bacon was frying, cut up four chicken breasts into cubes and coat and ranch dressing seasoning mix. You can use this ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix which should be able to be found in most grocery stores. I used my Penzey's ranch dressing mix. Add the chicken to bacon grease reserved frying pan along with diced onions and peppers. I always have frozen onions and peppers on hand. It makes prepping casseroles like this go so much faster. Cook the chicken and veggies till the chicken is fully cooked.

While the chicken is cooking, it is time to transfer attention to the pasta. Like I said, I used gluten-free pasta. Otherwise, I would have used bow tie pasta. And yes, I have to Subscribe and Save Prime Membershipdeliver my pasta to me each month. I didn't cook the pasta fully. I cooked it to a little before al dente. In other words, if it says to cook 10-12 minutes, I cooked it about 8 minutes.

Now, it gets real. Start layering the ingredients by starting with half the pasta and sauce in the bottom of the crock pot.
