Notes

For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Use light cream cheese and low-sodium soup for a lighter version. Prep the ingredients the night before for an even easier dinner. To make gluten-free, use certified gluten-free soup, ranch seasoning, and noodles or rice.
