Crock Pot King Ranch Chicken Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix all ingredients except tortillas, cheese and cilantro. Tear tortillas into 1-inch pieces; layer one-third of tortilla pieces in slow cooker. Top with one-third of the chicken mixture and 2/3 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers twice.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 3 hours 30 minutes or until bubbly and edges are golden brown. Uncover; cook 30 minutes longer. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine the chicken soup, mushroom soup, broth and tomatoes with chiles. Set aside.
• Lightly grease a shallow 3 quart casserole dish. Layer 1/2 the tortillas, 1/2 the chicken, 1/2 the onion, 1/2 the bell pepper and 1/2 the cheese in the casserole dish. Pour 1/2 of the soup mixture over the layers. Repeat the layers of tortillas, chicken, onion and bell pepper; pour the remaining soup mixture over the top, then top with the remaining cheese. Sprinkle with chili powder and garlic salt and bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Spread a few tablespoons of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread 1/2 the chicken over the sauce. Spread about half the sauce over the chicken and top with 1/3 the cheese. Spread a layer of tortillas over the cheese. Spread remaining 1/2 the chicken over the tortillas, and top with almost all of the remaining sauce, reserving 1/2 cup sauce. Top with 1/3 the cheese, remaining tortillas, the reserved 1/2 cup sauce, and remaining 1/3 cheese.
