King Ranch Chicken Casserole

I found this recipe at Closet Cooking and it looked fantastic. It is very good and tastes even better the second day as leftovers. I actually doubled the recipe because we were having company. I cooked it in a 9x13 inch pan. It was a ton of food. I will not do that again. 6+ servings are just fine. I also used a rotisierre chicken and served it with chips, guacamole and refried beans. I will be making this one again.
This recipe is really worth trying. FANTASTIC!
