King Ranch Casserole

{gluten-free} king ranch casserole | kumquatblog.com @kumquatblog
 if you follow this blog, you may full well know i’m from texas.
there is plenty of proof that texans are a proud people. we are the home of the alamo, gun-slinging cowboys, fields of bluebonnets, big & bright stars, lyle lovett, delicious barbecue, texas longhorns, and king ranch casserole.
 i’m not quite sure this casserole was frequently served to the kiñenos on the king ranch, but this famous dish has claimed the name. this one is also a favorite in our family. my dad loves it. my sister served this to her husband on one of their first dates, though forgot to cook the chicken first (bad idea, but good story for the kids). as a young dietetic intern, this was the dish we served to the entire emory university hospital cafeteria when julie staley and i were in charge of food service for the day (good times).
the original version is full of “cream of” soups. totally not gluten-free, nor are they any good for you. i’ve been wanting to take this one on for a long time, and i’m so glad i finally did.
a taste of texas… gluten-free. my dad even approved.
(to all of you non-texans, thank you for humoring me by reading this post. i know texas pride can feel like a club you’re not a part of. though to quote lyle: “that’s right you’re not from texas, but texas wants you anyway.”)
we've got the alamo and cowboys and even lone stars, but this king ranch casserole is the true #gf taste of #texas Click To Tweet
