Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and milk. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the cooked shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon (reserve some for topping), and cooked pasta. Mix until everything is well-coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and any reserved bacon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving.

Shred your own cheese: Freshly grated cheese will melt smoother and gooey-er into the casserole. It's worth it if you have the time!
Keep it from sticking: Don't be stingy when it comes to adding the nonstick spray to the baking dish. This will ensure the casserole will be easy to serve and won't get stuck in the dish.
Don't let the top overcook: If top cheese starts browning too quickly, tent foil over the dish and finish baking.
