A true Texas dish. We love to make this dish and we love to eat it. The sauce that is the result of the cream soups, and the Ro-Tel tomatoes is spicy and creamy. The corn tortillas are a must. If you are in a pinch, you could use tortilla chips instead. This was a lovely casserole and we enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing.

Loved this one. The corn tortillas give it a real hearty mexican flavor and the sauce is perfect - a little spicy, nice and richly flavored. We had six for dinner and got a thumbs up from everyone as well as an empty casserole dish!

Easy recipe. I added sauted onions, celery and bell pepper. I added chili powder to make it a little spicier.

Too many tortillas..made it doughy. Ok, but not original King Ranch. I think orginal has chopped onion,green pepppers and more spicy. I had the original recipe..can't find it! I do like the new Campbell cooking soups like Campo Verde(something like that!) instead of mushroom soup in dishes like this. This a little bland for me.
