Crockpot King Ranch Casserole

Submitted by youngdovefarm

"This is amazingly good and super easy. If you want to leave the house for the afternoon to come back and have dinner ready to serve, this is the one to try. Bring home a bag of salad and you are set. Real cheese in here, no velveeta. I also use low sodium everything and don't add extra salt. The spiciness makes additional salt unnecessary. Also, if you don't uncover it the last 30 minutes, don't worry about it. It's still just as good. Also good with flour tortillas if you don't have corn on hand."

Really good. Used it for the first time on company and it was a hit! I need to add jalepenos next time to give it some zip. I would also suggest maybe using salsa instead of stewed tomatoes for an extra bite. But definitely will make again!

Too much onion, preferred them to be sauteed as well as the green pepper. Make sure to drain the rotel too!

This was quite good! I didn't have the cream of chicken soup, so I added some chicken bouillon and some sour cream. Thanks for posting,made for Spring PAC 2013
