3. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning until smooth.
4. Add eggs to the mixture and stir until fully combined.
5. Fold in shredded chicken, half the cheddar cheese, most of the bacon (reserve some), green onions, and garlic powder.
6. Spread the mixture into the baking dish and smooth the top.
7. Sprinkle remaining cheddar and reserved bacon on top.

Notes
Soften cream cheese to room temperature for a smoother blend.
Save some bacon for topping to add that crispy texture.
Let the casserole rest after baking so it slices cleanly.
