How To Make kathy’s king ranch casserole
-
Step 1If you need to cook chicken, gently poach it in 2 inches of water in a covered saucepan for about 30-35 minutes, or until done. Shred when it’s cool enough. If you’re using rotisserie or leftover chicken, skip this step, except the shredding part.
-
Step 2Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13 X 9” baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
-
Step 3In a large skillet or dutch oven, sauté the chopped onion in a little oil until lightly browned, then add chicken, soup, Rotel, and the spices. Cook over medium heat until bubbly, stirring often.
-
Step 4While the soup mixture is cooking, cut up the tortillas with a pizza cutter.
-
Step 5Layer the following in the prepared baking dish: * Spread a little soup mixture over the bottom of the dish to keep the tortillas from sticking * half of the tortilla pieces * half of the remaining soup mixture * half of the shredded cheese * the rest of the tortilla pieces * the rest of the soup mixture * the rest of the cheese
-
Step 6Bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly & lightly browned around the edges. Enjoy! =^..^=
