What actually is ranch dressing and can I make it if I can’t find it?
Ranch dressing is a bottle salad dressing. It can also be used to cook.
What can I use instead of bacon?
You can use smoked duck/turkey, or beef/turkey bacon, proscuitto or pancetta. In a pinch, even ham will work.
I cannot use bacon because it’s not kosher, as is ham etc. All parts of the pig which is forbidden for me.
Understood. You can use any of the other non-pork suggestions I provided above.
I have followed you and your blog for years and the one thing I can always count on is that your recipes always work exactly as you say they will. I have never been disappointed. This was true tonight when I needed a fast dinner and side. I grabbed my email from you with December 7th dinners and made the very first one. I paired it with the brown butter, garlic, honey carrots. Both were great hits at my house. My husband, who has watched too many chef competition shows, rated the chicken, potato casserole a 10 and the carrots a 9. That is from a man who dislikes carrots. I always love the flavors you bring into my home. I am grateful for your time and passion. Thank you.

Do try out more recipes on my site and I appreciate all your support, and thanks for the ratings from your husband. Happy cooking and have a great holiday season! <3 :)
I was very excited about this recipe but it didn’t turn out very good
Doubled the recipe. Used center cut bacon, keeping everything else the same (used 9×13 bakeware). Should have either pre-cook the bacon or cut back on the butter. There was just a pool of melted butter/bacon grease afterwards. Flavor was great, just had to make sure to leave as much grease behind!
Flavor was fine. Poured off about a cup of grease. My wife had 2nds and 3rds. Easy to make, I precooked the bacon and chicken to cut down on the grease but still had an over abundance. Still it was very tasty
Does the recipe mean. Regular prepared Ranch dressing or the powdered mix??
Not the powder the dressing.
