King Ranch Casserole

From EatingWell: September/October 1992

Usually made with creamy canned soups and several cups of cheese, the fat and sodium of this spicy, layered chicken casserole can be a nutritional nightmare. Our version has a tangy, creamy sauce made with nonfat milk, nonfat yogurt and reduced-sodium chicken broth, plus we use reduced-fat Cheddar.

Very good & very easy! I was very surprised at how delicious this is! :)
Be sure you read the recipe all the way through before you start. I doubled the cumin & chili powder and used a red pepper instead of green. I would like to try it Jen's way with mushrooms added. I'll definitely make this again.

This recipe was awesome. It is a little more involved than most recipes so make sure you read through a few times before starting. I also added fresh mushrooms and it was delicious.

Me and my wife loved the recipe... It also took me alot longer than 30 minutes to prepare because I used fresh veggies and I crushed my own garlic. The only thing I changed was I used a can of drained Rotel (Tomatoes with green chilies) instead diced tomatoe and the chopped chilies. I would make it again..

It turned out really well, it took me alot longer than 30 min prep time... i think because i didn't buy the pre-cut veggies, so that took time. My body-builder boyfriend really enjoyed it, and it fed 3 hefty boys and me with TONS left over. I will probably make it again. - Stacie, Advance, NC
