King Ranch Casserole – Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Ironically Named

There are 3 things all existent Texans love: high schoolhouse football, executing people, in addition to the King Ranch casserole. From what I hear, it's impossible to become to whatever kind out of potluck in addition to non encounter i of these.

I honey posting most these regional culinary favorites, specially when no i knows sure where the name came from. It allows me to seat forth my own, oftentimes ridiculous, theory. There is indeed a King Ranch inward Texas – they country it's i of the most famous ranches inward the world, but every bit far every bit claiming credit for inventing this casserole goes, they're non interested. You can't actually blame them…a legendary cattle ranch the birthplace of a famous chicken recipe? I don't intend so.

Here's what I bet happened. You don’t produce a cattle ranch without making a few enemies along the way. To larn revenge, mortal invented this dish in addition to called it the King Ranch casserole only to annoy them. It was a bright plan. Without firing a shot, or bloodying a knuckle, they inflicted the ultimate cattleman humiliation.

Regarding this recipe, I stimulate got a few things to explain.

It threw off the center to grain to condensed soup ratio. Two layers are plenty; in addition to thus if you lot brand it, stimulate got note.

Lastly, since condensed soup is dangerously high inward sodium, I didn't add together any, but afterward sampling I decided that it did postulate about afterward all. Best to gustatory modality the sauce mixture in addition to produce upward one's heed for yourself. Enjoy!
