Notes
To freeze: Assemble as directed. Freeze on a plate or baking sheet. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in ziploc bag in the freezer. Bake from frozen for 12-14 minutes.
If you don’t like Ranch, you can leave it out. You can also add extra cheese or beans if you want and you can leave the beans whole if desired.
