Look at all the cheesy goodness! This dish is filling, hearty and comfort food through and through. This is a dish perfect for large families and to give as a covered dish. This recipe freezes particularly well for a quick meal on nights you don't have time to cook. Cover tightly before putting in the freezer and don't add ranch until time to serve. To re-heat, set oven to 350 and warm for 5-7 min. until warm in the center.
