- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cooked beef bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook the beef until browned and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together evaporated milk and ranch seasoning over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Add cream cheese cubes to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the mixture boils. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded chicken.
- Spread a thin layer of the chicken sauce mixture at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer with lasagna noodles, chicken sauce, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. Repeat layers until all noodles are used.
- For the final layer, top with cheese and cooked beef bits.

- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute lasagna noodles with gluten-free noodles and ensure the ranch seasoning is gluten-free.
- Add red pepper flakes or jalapeños to the sauce for a spicy kick.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
- To prevent sticking, spray foil with nonstick spray before covering.
