Mac and cheese is a classic holiday meal and now you can enjoy it in a whole new way this winter with the launch of Arby's new Loaded Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac ‘N Cheese.
The new Loaded Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac ‘N Cheese dish was originally tested at select locations in Georgia earlier this summer. Clearly, this test launch was a success because Arby's is now rolling the dish out nationwide. The new Loaded Chicken Bacon Ranch Mac ‘N Cheese consists of a creamy white cheddar mac ‘n cheese base, topped with chopped pieces of chicken nuggets, savory bacon, and a peppery parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce.
In addition to the new ranch-covered macaroni dish, Arby’s is also welcoming back White Cheddar Mac ‘N Cheese for a limited time.
