2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

5. Add the shredded chicken and stir to combine.
6. Fold in the cooked pasta and most of the crumbled bacon.

Notes
Don’t overcook your pasta—it continues to cook in the oven.
Use freshly shredded cheddar for best melt and flavor.
Taste your mixture before adding extra salt; the soup and bacon already bring salt.
