GRAMMY’S KING RANCH CASSEROLE

GRAMMY’S KING RANCH CASSEROLE is a scrumptious dinner option that is loaded with flavor!!! This casserole is a favorite in our house for both young and old and always gets a BIG thumbs up from all! From the tender chunks of chicken, along with the tex-mex seasonings, to the yummy pieces of corn tortillas, this casserole is sure to please!

And the bonus?  You can make this ahead of time and slip into the oven when you are ready!  It can even be assembled the day before and kept in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook the next day (adjust cooking times a little longer, if the casserole is straight out of fridge).  That’s a win/win, right?! It is easy to prepare, uses common ingredients that you might already have in your pantry/fridge, and will tickle the taste buds of all that dig in, guaranteed! 😋💯

NOTE:  This casserole pairs great with my GRAMMY’S TEX-MEX RICE!!  Get recipe here > https://alittlebitofgrammy.com/grammys-tex-mex-rice/
