The ingredients in this recipe sound like they would go together really nicely but I guess I'm wondering...when the casserole is finished, is it more like mashed potatoes or is there texture to it? You know, with the ingredients that are being used I bet chunks of ham would be amazing in this dish and it would definitely give it a little texture.

Bacon and ranch are an all-time favorite duo and this casserole is no exception. What is like when you cut it? Does it hold shape or is scooping it a better option? Please advise before I try to make it!
