King Ranch Casserole Recipe ~ Noreen's Kitchen

[@katherinehaught7950]

I grew up in Texas & have heard about this great casserole for years. I don’t know why l never made it but this video makes me realize what l’ve been missing so will make it sometime when my kids are here. We are empty nesters s l don’t make huge meals anymore. I have three grown sons so you probably know how they eat. My grandson is 16 & does he like to eat & he loves my cooking. So sweet of you to make extras for your friends. You seem like the kindest person. ( a true friend to those who are close to you. They are lucky.)

[@sandlappersue01]

You and the queens cabinet are the bomb. Seriously, I don't know what I would do without you.

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Thank you so much and thanks for the comment!

[@michelle10261]

thank you Noreen for sharing, Its great that you are sharing with your church ladies.

[@loriwilliams8709]

Oh my gosh! So good! I made it pretty much as posted except I used 1 can of cream of chicken and 1 can of cream of mushroom. Threw in an extra little can of green chilies because I had it and used pepper jack cheese on top. This is going into the rotation.....thank you, once again, Noreen.

[@dymondwillow2]

what kind of green chilies did you use?

[@robinlanagan1145]

Ur a very thoughtful person. We need more of u in this world. I'm making this for supper tommorow. Thanks.

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

This looks like pure, creamy, cheesy, casserole-y deliciousness! Kind of like white chicken enchiladas but without all the rolling.

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

That is just what it tastes like

[@AUser0000001]

+Noreen's Kitchen Wow this looks so good! I would make this for my family but everyone is dieting and sadly they wouldn't go near this dish ... I might work on making a small portion for myself! HA !

[@venessatalbert4602]

I freaking LOVE you Ms. Noreen! You are the BEST! I cannot tell you how many times you have saved my life and energy with your fantabulous recipes. God bless you dear and please keep the recipes coming. I got hungry folks in my house that keep me stirring pots!!!! lol

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Thank you so much and thanks for the comment!

[@TheSushiJen]

Made this for dinner this week and it was totally a winner! My husband said "Is this another Noreen recipe? Cause this is awesome!" Ha! You are a celebrity at our dinner table!

[@kiki121471]

Thank you Noreen! I have a household of 8, including myself, and made this for dinner last night and there was only crumbs left. It's hard to find something to please so many people and this was a winner.

[@texassews535]

Noreen, I have tried so many recipes for King Ranch Casserole where some were good and some were not so good. I decided to try your recipe as it sounded so good. I didn't have high hopes because they all have sounded really good and didn't end up to be. Your King Ranch Casserole is the best one I have tried and my entire family loved it. They loved it so much they want me to make it once a month. Thank you that my search is over for the best of the King Ranch Casseroles. We served your Sour Cream Coffee Cake for dessert and loved it as well. Again, thank you.

[@blmeyer8362]

I never heard of king casserole before, BUT this likes YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@everettaholbert8624]

BL Meyer it’s King Ranch Casserole named after the King Ranch here in Texas😊 The ranch is as large as the state of Rhode Island!!!❤️🇨🇱

[@MsChopperdog]

I love King Ranch Casserole !!My sister who lives in Texas, introduced me to it 20 some years ago. I had to watch your version. Thanks Noreen !

[@audrahollis5364]

I make something similar to this..but use ground turkey ..this gives me another great idea. Also hadn't thought to add the cream of chicken soup..I just used salsa and seasoning. Corn and black beans, olives and mushrooms..are also good add ins. Thanks for a great idea and recipe Noreen

[@kathyjotourtois]

yum , i love this casserole . great old recipe !!!

[@alicesmith7913]

One of my favorite things to eat and to make for others. I made this for some friends, who had never tried it before, they loved it Noreen!! TFS!

[@thethreadgillthr33]

I saw this the other day. It's in the oven now and it looks and smells great! You gave my mom and me something new to cook for dinner :) thanks Noreen!

[@kristenevans4557]

I am totally going to make this- love the way you cut the tortillas to get better coverage. Thanks!

[@OrdinaryOwens]

This will be the next church dinner contribution from me!!!

[@daniellearnold1000]

What a great idea to take it to your friend uncooked! When I was in high school my mom (single mom of 3) broke her leg. We had a lot of people bring us food, which was really thoughtful, but we couldn't eat it in time. We were constantly telling my grandparents to come get some food before it went bad. If you bring it uncooked they could freeze and save for a later date once the meal train stops, but they still need food! I know this isn't rocket science, but it just popped into my head and I think I will make this next time I know someone who needs meals. I might even make a few freezer crockpot meals to take as well :)

[@AAngela222]

Yum!!!! Great video! So nice of you to share and make for others!

[@normahuber2882]

I'm trying king ranch casserole and will let you know how it turns out. Looks yummy

[@lisapeterson5723]

I just love the way you cooked and looks delious and enjoyed your show Even want me to make it too .

[@Betty1Q]

Thanks Rick for taking one for us!!! LOL... Looks Great!! Thank You!!

[@BOOHOWELL]

Everything you make looks delicious!

[@sarahroberson2112]

I love King ranch casserole.I was waiting for Rick to say if I have too that I always makes me laugh because we know he is just waiting to taste all that delicious ness you make

[@dawnfiniff9338]

I make something similar, but add black beans and hominy. Yum!

[@cheesestr4wz]

Visited The King Ranch in So. Texas many time ! Gonna MAKE this !

[@lovewisdomgrace]

Yummy! I'm adding this to my menu for next week.

[@AUser0000001]

Wow this looks so good! I would make this for my family but everyone is dieting and sadly they wouldn't go near this dish ... I might work on making a small portion for myself!

[@Tinkerbell31326]

This looks great!

[@virginiareid5336]

Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@novemberschild7653]

This looks delicious!

[@littleblizzard7591]

That looks delicious and you're a very thoughtful friend!

[@maryanncarreon4868]

We put Cumin in our Kings Ranch casserole..also if anyone find the white tortillas are too soft and won't hold up if you can find yellow corn tortillas use them.. In my area we use El Milagro they are simply the best..

[@artsygigi]

I am sorry you do not live in AZ anymore, I would love to be at your house for dinner. I lived in VA on the border of NC I did most of my shopping in NC and NC is a beautiful place to live. Thank you for sharing. Blessings......................

[@pamhall8499]

This looks awesome. Can’t wait to try it.❤️👵🏻

[@stef1lee]

This is absolutely one of my favorite dishes my mother makes besides her Beef Burgundy but she does one with Doritos and it's yummy! Aside from that, it's identical to yours. My mouth was watering and I could almost smell it! I know what I'm making tomorrow night! Yay!

[@chr_rn88]

Yum..this looks sooooo good!!

[@maryannanderson7517]

That looks SOOOO good! I'm gonna try this.

[@groovinchick7661]

I can't wait to try this--looks delish

[@laurah9139]

Thank you for this! Looks delicious and I cannot wait to try!

[@jomalloy9959]

Looks delicious thanks!

[@jeanadair4798]

Going to try it thanks

[@Cantfightfate0106]

OMG! I have to make this ASAP. Looks so good!

[@MustardSeedish]

This look amazing. I'm "pinning" this and making it over the weekend. Thank you for sharing.

[@debbieomi]

This is definitely going to be made in my house. I want to try it as is and also with a bit of salsa and sour cream. I like a bit of bite and I think the Rotel will satisfy that so maybe I won't top with salsa when serving. We'll see. Looks so darn good!

[@marie42ify]

I loved your homemade cream of chicken soup Noreen. It went down a treat with my family. I am sure this casserole will do the same. I can get the canned green chilis here but not roteli might have to substitute diced canned tomatoes . Thank you Noreen :)

[@liboriopsych]

Hmm, You have inspired me!... I make a killer chicken-pot-pie, but seldom make it because I'm so bad at the crust. But, if I make the filling and assemble it like your casserole, add the cheese (maybe rotel too)... I may have a new hit, that we "all" can enjoy 😋 Thank You, +Blessings

[@deepseareppy]

The way I had this growing up was with crushed up Doritos (usually the ranch kind, and my dad called it King Chicken Ranchero) mixed in instead of layered with corn tortillas. This looks super yummy though!

[@georgeballard6452]

mmmmmm. that looks good.

[@whommee]

I have watched your vids before, but just now subscribed,, that looks wonderful. Gonna try it. thanks for posting.. I been subscribed to Perbain channel for a while , but she does not post any vids any longer. I got your page from seeing her talk about how good of a KZbin page you had.. Love your videos, thanks for making and sharing.

[@IHeartDisney1]

Noreen, this looks yummy! I will have to try it this week! Last night I made your recipe for you Mother in law's potato soup..minus the dumplings. I had a big pot of it for 4 people..I left it at my parents house and this morning was informed it is gone lol. And I was looking forward to a bowl for lunch today, but they ate it all haha. Thanks for the great recipes!!!

[@carolynrigney6169]

Mine turned out awesome! C ant wait to eat

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Enjoy! Thanks for commenting

[@sonya3772]

oooh..I wanna be a member of your church..lol this looks so delicious! So kind of you by the way to bake two extra meals to share :)

[@warrencrusenberry6750]

This great! Christmas is coming and I know what I'm taking! Thank you..

[@susanbeckham1997]

Hi Noreen...You replied to my message that I screwed up my king ranch casserole but I am not very computer savvy and could not read it. Anyhow, I think you are a super lady and very down to earth...nothing fake about you. You seem to know how to cook everything and are very creative. . I don"t know how you find time the do all your cooking, hobbies, etc. When do you sleep?

[@518pleasure]

This looks so delicious! And so easy to make. I will try this :) tfs

[@kerihon1949]

I'm so gonna make this

[@willydawgs]

This looks deicious. The sauce is so colorful and beautiful, it's almost a shame to cover it up -- lol! I don't care for corn tortillas, so will try this with flour, though I'm afraid they might become too soggy. When my second son was born, a mom from my playgroup brought us dinner and it was something similar to this. I never got her recipe (mom brain!) but have thought about it often over the past 13 years. I will try this this weekend!

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+willydawgs I am afraid flour tortillas are not going to work with this. They will turn this casserole into paste. Give the good quality corn tortillas a try. They are what give this casserole it's body and ability to stay together.

[@willydawgs]

Oh, thank you for this! I guess there is a sweetness to corn tortillas I don't like but maybe I just need to keep trying. And maybe the sauce in this recipe would help cover up that sweet. I'm going to try your recipe this weekend, then, and I will use the corn tortillas. This just looks so good to me! YUM.

[@denisehorne68]

I loved the video and would love too try the recipe. I have a question I ton of flour tortillas can I use them instead of the corn.

[@jennyhartman3]

Looks so good! Thank you

[@bigpj95]

thanks I'm making this tonight!!!!!!

[@cat8469]

that looks so darn good!! Do you think i could use flour tortilla's!

[@donnabosco9785]

Can't wait to try your version! Looks delicious!!! Mine is a litle different, but yours looks better!!lol!!!

[@TheWolfePit]

This looks fantastic Noreen! I've heard of this but have never tried it! Now I feel I have to have it NOW!

[@lizsmothers1352]

A good meal stretcher

[@Heghineh1]

Love it, looks really delicious and so filing 👌🏻

[@halleykat1]

That looks really really yummy! I'm definitely making that tomorrow, thx for posting =)

[@lindabowser1867]

I've been making a lot of burritos for the freezer. this would be a fan addition to my recipe box. does it freeze?

[@lindabowser1867]

sorry, read the recipe and yes you can freeze. thanks!

[@gailhoward9396]

Is there a place to print the recipe? Sounds yummy! Gail

[@neilmorgan6734]

Thank You So Much !!!!! I have had that before. Good Stuff, will make.

[@orgjam]

hellofa cook Noreen ! Great Job...love you !!!!

[@Eatallthebirds]

I still make it with an infinite amount of "cream of", gonna give this version it's day in court real soon.

[@Ladyshystar]

It looks delicious. TY for sharing it.:-)

[@AussieAngeS]

Oh my that looks simply delicious! Never ever made anything like that before for the family, I must try it. Can't get Rotel here, I think you have a video in it if I remember Noreen?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+FitAnge S It is just diced tomatoes with green chilies and onions and a bit of garlic.

[@AussieAngeS]

Noreen's Kitchen ok thank you, and you cook it or just mix it all up together and use as is?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+FitAnge S I have a canning video where I made it, but you do need to cook it.

[@AussieAngeS]

Noreen's Kitchen I'll go search for it, thank you Noreen I don't can but I learn a lot from all your videos. Thank you again

[@Coffeegrl007]

wooo i can eat this since you use corn tortillas instead of flour. being gluten free sucks! lol gonna try this !

[@gailruge2564]

Can this casserole be made with ground beef instead of chicken?

[@greengiant3421]

Hello! I am a new subscriber, first time commenting on. Your videos. This looks amazing. I want to make one, not three. Can I use a can of cream of chicken soup( store bought)? If so, do I add any water to the soup? I'm wanting to make this soon.

[@vickilynch-griffin1542]

@noreen could you freeze this??? Before last bake??

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Yes

[@juliabartlam2083]

This looks amazing! Can this be frozen? I am getting recipes together for my sister who just finished her first round of cancer treatments and will have surgery in a couple of weeks so that all her husband has to do is toss it in the oven. I have save a lot of your recipes for this :-)

[@homesteadinarental]

This looks fantastic! And as a foster mom myself, your a very good friend.

[@carbarelifev7466]

My mom used to make this all the time, we loved it. I miss her. :( I try and make it but it just doesn't taste the same.

[@cathybrown7559]

Carb Are Life V my mama made this. Mama called this Mexican Chicken. Nobody’s food is as good as mama’s.

[@crops4fun]

How do you recommend shredding the chicken without turning it into a paste?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

My chicken never turns to paste. You pulse the machine or run it on low. It only takes a minute for it to shred nicely.

[@lindalewis5068]

Yummy yum yum

[@supergeeky7529]

This looks amazing. Do you think it would work with flour tortillas? I've always hated corn tortillas! Thanks = )

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+super geeky Nope. I have addressed this question several times in this comment section. Flour tortillas will cause this casserole to turn to mush. The corn tortillas are needed here. You may hate corn tortillas in other ways. I do too. However, in this casserole you may find that they are not at all offensive.

[@supergeeky7529]

Noreen's Kitchen Sorry, I looked and didn't notice this question. Thanks so much for answering it again for me. I am gonna have to give this a shot, it just looked too good. I think a big reason for me is I grew up on homemade corn tortillas as a kid cause my godmother is Mexican. Now any ones I have had since are just gross to me. It sucks when food gets ruined for you! lol

[@crops4fun]

Do you use food processor? Is chicken hot or cooled?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

I use my mixer. The chicken can be hot, warm or cold.

[@jessiicoool]

YUMMY!

[@WandaPrice7661]

If I make 3 casseroles, can I freeze them for later? Also if frozen, what temp. to bake, for how long?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+Wanda Price All that information is included in the printable recipe. The link is in the description box.

[@WandaPrice7661]

Thank you

[@dmed7612]

Can you use flour tortillas instead of corn?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+Diane Medeiros Flour tortillas are not going to work with this casserole. They are going to turn into paste. The corn tortillas are what give this casserole it's structure.

[@outinthegarden8770]

That looks fantastic! my family prefers the flour tortillas to the corn. can I make it with flour, will it turn out?

[@RadianceRush]

I'm sure it would be just fine.

[@donnafitzgerald3804]

that sauce would be lovely over pasta too :) Love the recipe I'm going to try this very soon !

[@ImjustKelly73]

Looks good Noreen! TFS :))

[@susanbeckham1997]

didn't screw the pan fried pork chops up!!! Loved them

[@matzmaw21]

Yum yum yehaw!

[@brentanoschool]

Can you make this with tuna?

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

Then it would not be King Ranch Casserole. I really do not recommend tuna for this recipe. I do have a tuna noodle casserole you may like to have a look at. Just do a search for Noreen's Kitchen Tuna Noodle Casserole.

[@jessicamccollins5225]

can lasagna noodles be used instead of the tortillas

[@AllanKentFisher]

love this recipe & I love you Noreen. My perfect date. a brilliant cook & a walking dead fan. Thanks for your continued inspiration

[@pochettecherline1109]

isn't it chicken enchiladas ??? thx for sharing got to giv it a try

[@phoebemckenzie5707]

instead of tortillas can you use bisquits

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

No This requires tortillas. If you use biscuits it is not King Ranch Casserole. It is something else. Honestly I feel like biscuits would not cook properly and become gummy and gross.

[@Coffeegrl007]

o wait what can you use instead of creamed soup? those have gluten

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

+Joanna F. There is no substitute for the creamed soup in this recipe. You will have to make your own using gluten free flour.

[@dymondwillow2]

listed is a can of tomatoes and green chilies.... what kind of green chilies? I could probably make some...

[@NoreensKitchenOfficial]

It’s tomatoes and green chilies in the same can. Also known as RoTel
