My husband and kids totally dug this King Ranch casserole and so will you. I think this is also a wonderful casserole to take to a church potluck as it feeds a crowd. Plus, it contains ingredients that pretty much everyone enjoys. Check out what my pals over at Tasty Kitchen had to say about this recipe:
“An update on a Texas Classic! Layers of chicken, corn tortillas, and a spicy cream sauce.”
