Hi Shirley. I have never heard of King Ranch Casserole.
I don't know much about cooking, but with all those ingredients, it must taste good!
Thanks for writing,
Ken
there Shirley, my friend
Your quick 'n' easy King Ranch Casserole, sure does sound really good.
Deb and I, sure will fix it. Thank you kindly for sharing.
Shirley you can bring some left overs to the Blog Along tomorrow night for "us" that are not dieting and maybe a popsicle for dessert. I have another surprise tomorrow night for you ladies that are dieting. I think you liked my popsicles last Blog Along. Judi has been to Target and Walgreen's looking for them - she is a woman with a mission - popsicle hunter.
Hi Shawn, You will like it.
Ken, It is named for the vast King Ranch in South Texas.
Dale, It is very yummy.
Shirley, It is one of our favorite casseroles. However I use canned chicken, and eliminated the corn tortillas and use a bag of Doritos instead. We like it better. Try is sometime!
King Ranch casserole...there's not much I love to eat more than that. I made some last month with turkey leftovers and that was good too. We always have to find a home for leftover turkey.
That's exactly the same recipe I have. Have you been hacking into my computer? LOL
Outside of barbecue, it might be the most popular dish in my hometown of Kingsville, Texas, home of the world-famous King Ranch.
Hi Sherry, Thanks for the tip. I will try it with Doritos.
Hi Keith, Making it with leftover turkey... I wouldn't have thought of that but it sounds delicious.
Hi Russel, I have never been to the King Ranch but my husband has told me a lot about it. I had friends in Houston that I have been out of touch with for years but recently I saw in the wedding announcements in the paper that their son married one of the Kleberg girls.
