When I make this, the whole pan disappears. It's simple yet delicious, and you can substitute any of your ingredients. Cleanup is a snap, which is a big plus.

This deluxe red potato bake is a great one-pan meal. The star of the dish is the creamy red potatoes. They're mixed with a medley of vegetables and pieces of tender chicken. A zesty onion bacon ranch flavor is prominent throughout the dish. It's topped with more bacon bits and cheese. This easy dinner will quickly become a family favorite.

How To Make deluxe red potato bake (one-pan meal)

Step 1

Spray a glass baking dish with non-stick spray.

Step 2

Cut red potatoes into bite-size pieces.
Step 3

Dice and slice other vegetables and add to the pan. The chicken can be cooked before or along with. I understand the concern about that, so do what you will. I personally just dice it up and add it along with the other ingredients and it cooks up perfectly.
Step 4

Add a third of the bacon pieces and the 1 oz. of ranch seasoning. Get your hands in there and mix it completely.
Step 5

Bake for one hour uncovered at 350 F depending on your oven.
Step 6

Pull out and check potatoes and give a quick toss. Put back in for another 15 minutes or until done.
Step 7

When you are satisfied everything is done, pull out and add 1/2 lb of shredded cheese and the last of the bacon bits.
Step 8

Place once more into the oven to melt the cheese or bake it till it's crisp, your choice. I like ours to be gooey!
Step 9

Plate up as a main dish or use as a side as I do at family dinners. Change this recipe with other ingredients to make it your very own. The possibilities are endless.
