Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.
In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Beefed Up King Ranch Casserole ~ page 167

Recipes that find new ways to avoid using overly salted canned soups are always a winner with me…well, as long as they are as tasty as this one! I also like that this recipe uses corn tortillas, rather than fried tortilla chips.  It does have a light Frito topping that adds a lot of corn flavor and crunch, but with just a small amount of crushed chips. Unless I have a big crowd to feed, I usually divide this into two dishes and freeze one (uncooked) for another time.
I divided this recipe and put half of it in this stoneware pie dish, and half in a an 11 X 7-inch dish (to freeze).
Don't forget to add the chopped avocado and cilantro on top each serving--it makes gives a bright fresh taste to the baked casserole.
