I have a miserable Great-Aunt. She's miserable because she makes a chicken casserole that is really good; the recipe of which she will take to the grave with her. I cannot relate to the mindset which denies the joy of sharing a recipe with someone who enjoys food. This may be petty, but I can tell you I will have no shame at the next family get-together when I set this thing down beside hers, just to let her know it no longer matters.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

OMG…you just made our day. We love you, Gavin!!

[@GavinAlexander.]

@@HowToFeedaLoon Well, you made mine, so... lol

[@dedelin4356]

Gavin, I completely understand. I had a few co-workers that would not share their recipes. I however, will share any recipe (sharing is caring). Besides, I love it when people ask me for the recipe. It means the really enjoyed it.

[@GavinAlexander.]

@@dedelin4356 Exactly. How can you love food, and love creating food, yet deny sharing recipes? If no one shares recipes, we don't have food. I can understand a restauranteur not sharing because it's their business. But a private individual? Can't relate.

[@lacyblackburn]

I love this... please let us know who's casserole disappears first... 😂😂🤩

[@nancyhicks9859]

I was sold on the recipe when the jalapeño went in. Bet it would be good with shredded beef or hamburger instead of the chicken.

[@vickifrakes9488]

I thought KING RANCH dishes also has the dry ranch dressing mix in it too.

[@adamstevenson2485]

Love you guys y’all seem like crazy fun! I’ve been making this for 20 years but a little different. Think y’alls way looks better. Wished we were neighbors we could share recipes.👍

[@williamakin1959]

Hey, guys. I really missed y'all. And yes, I'm from Texas, which is why I used y'all lol. I thought 🤔 about you guys all the time. And even though I missed a lot, I can keep up. I still love love love you guys. I know that you are a gay couple, but that doesn't bother me, because I'm a gay guy as well. And I am a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. Perhaps I said a little too much, but it's all good... I guess. 😅 I wish you both well.

Definitely going to try this out - sounds fabulously delicious, can I use any colour of bell pepper - I find the green one doesn't like me - but the others love me lol also can I omit the jalapeno out of the recipe or will it change anything - love your videos a lot. A Canadian Fan Germiane

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Any type of bell pepper will work! And leave the jalapeno's out!! It will still be so delicious! Lots of flavor going here!! xoxo

How did I live in Texas for 8 years and not know about this dish?

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

It's really popular in South Texas. We didn't hear about it that much in the D/FW area. But it's so good!!

[@nohemicuellar4512]

Y'all are so much fun! Thank you for going the extra step of oiling up the tortilla. I think that is the only Mexican part of this whole recipe. It's still a delectable dish, thank you!

Greetings you’ll from Ft Worth so lucky to find your channel and I was looking for a good recipe for the King ranch casserole and found your channel. I’m making this wonderful recipe for my church luncheon! Love your options and that you make your own roux for this recipe. Love your personalities and how much fun you put into making delicious recipes ❤️New subscriber.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

I (Kris) was actually born in Fort Worth!! Thank you SO MUCH for subscribing and PLEASE stay in touch and let us know how the casserole turns out. It's one of our all-time favorites!!! xoxo

[@pamsalahub2986]

Guys is that a cast iron casserole dish? I have frying pans but they’re to shallow so I’d love to find a cast iron pan. ♥️

[@pamsalahub2986]

Also for your amount of ingredients what’s the perfect size dish. I know I know I’m anal about this stuff. 😁

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Hi Pam! Yes! This is a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. It's a Lodge, which is durable and not real expensive. Let us know if you'd like us to send you a link to the kind we use! It's great for King Ranch Casserole!

[@pamsalahub2986]

Yes please send me the link to the cast iron casserole pan that you use. I have casserole dishes but I want a cast iron one. Thank you for asking me? Can’t wait to make King Ranch for my family who is addicted to Mexican food. Especially my husband he could eat it night and day. Thx

[@pamsalahub2986]

I found the Lodge website and a cast iron Bakers skillet but it’s 10.25”. It has the two handles which I like but I want the 12” hmmm? Help! 🤣

[@pamsalahub2986]

Ok it’s a total 12.81” handle to handle then the opening is 10.31” depth 2” is this the same as yours?

[@the_anchor_holds]

Going to try this.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Woo hoo! We hope you love it as much as we do!

[@Summerdee223]

Love the reference to The Village and lack of counterspace! Brings back such good memories. Making this tonight!

Such good memories!!! We hope you got to make this casserole and enjoyed it! It's one of our favorites! xoxo Kris & Wesley

[@cyann410]

How can anyone watch you guys and not get excited? Your happiness is infectious. I have to tell you, I just found your channel 2 days ago. I was in the process of making a tomato pie, and needed to check the process, and your pie came up. I already had my cheese filling made up ( I used provolone, white cheddar and Asiago, and threw in a few plops of ricotta. It just happened to be the cheeses I had on hand). I had a ton of basil in the garden to use. The pie was a success. I planned on using your recipe for the next pie- onions and bacon are only going to improve anything you add them to ! Unfortunately I had slugs eating my tomatoes. I only got 2, the size of pool balls. Maybe enough to make a tomato cupcake-pie. Sadly, here in Maryland, the season is over. But next summer, the first picking is reserved for your tomato pie ! In the meantime, I have all winter trying your other recipes !

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Hi!! That is SO WONDERFUL to hear!! Well, not the part about the slugs! We had a similar situation here in Texas! Well, on to fall cooking!! We are so so excited that you found us and we found you!! Please stay in touch!! Best, Kris & Wesley

[@melindashaffer9751]

[@michaelr.gonzales6682]

I’m a Texas native and have made this dish for 40 years, but I’ve always used cream of mushroom and cream of chicken in my recipe. Also, back when I first made it, Rotisserie chickens weren’t readily available so you had to boil a whole chicken, then debone it as called for in my original recipe. I’m going to try it this way next time as it looks great.

[@HowToFeedaLoon]

Hi Michael! We've definitely used cream of mushroom and cream of chicken, and it's delicious! This version is a little more involved, but really tasty! Let us know if you try our version and what you think! Have a GREAT weekend!

[@michaelr.gonzales6682]

@@HowToFeedaLoon Will do ❤️

[@tonyapinkston4716]

Now you can buy shredded chicken in the what's for dinner section at HEB! You can easily find an entire chicken's worth of shredded meat.
