How to Make King Ranch Beef Casserole in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
If you keep up with our new recipes, you know I recently tried out Crock Pot King Ranch Chicken Casserole for the first time and straight up fell in love with it! Lo and behold, Michael was in the store this week picking up groceries and beef stew meat was marked down to $1.99 per pound! He called to ask if I wanted some. I immediately said yes and knew exactly what I was going to make! So, now you have this scrumdiddlyumptious Crock Pot King Ranch Beef Casserole recipe! Yum!
Little man, aka Ryder, joined me in the kitchen for this recipe. He was my dumper and stirrer. I did the cutting, layering and handling of the raw meat, but he had a blast learning how to cut up peppers, measuring ingredients and pouring everything in to give it a good stir. I love that he is learning life skills along with a little bit of math! That is a win win in this Momma’s book!

Can you use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas?
Hi Gloria!
I think you probably could, but it will change the texture and flavor of the recipe. The corn tortillas add a wonderful layer of flavor. The flour tortillas will most likely become soggy. However, if flour tortillas are your preference, and you want to give it a try, let me know how it goes!
