  1. I've never before tasted anything called 'King Ranch Chicken'...BUT...this is the most delicious mexican dish I have ever eaten! This stuff is scrumptious and deserves 10 stars! I made about a 1/3 recipe because I was afraid that the regular recipe would be way too much for just DH and me...especially if we didn't like it. Well that certainly isn't the case. The flavor was incredible! I wish there was more left! Made for Spring Pac 2010 http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

  1. made this for years - I add sour cream to the soup mix and sometimes use salsa verde and a can of chopped green chilies instead of Rotel

I go to art school in Baltimore and cooking is my favorite hobby other than doing art reading and watching movies! I cook for my boyfriend everyday and I am hoping to get better at it.
