 Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food and today I'm here to share a quick and easy recipe for King Ranch macaroni and cheese. So I live here in Texas and most people have had some version of King Ranch casserole. Now usually it's served in a casserole with either corn tortillas or corn chips, but today my version uses elbow macaroni. So let me show you what you're going to need. You're going to need some macaroni and you're going to need some cooked chicken. Now I prefer dark meat so that's what I have used here and I've got chicken thighs that I cooked and shredded. You're going to need some cheddar cheese and velveta cheese. Some bell pepper. Now if you prefer to use one colored bell pepper over the other that's totally fine but I like a little color in this casserole. You're going to need some rotel, cream of chicken, sour cream. You're going to need some cumin and chili powder and you're going to need some onions. I'm not going to use all of those, but you're going to need an onion. Alright, so if you want to see how this quick and easy recipe comes together, stay tuned. Alright, so I've got some butter going in my cast iron skillet and I wanted to mention to you that you're going to want to use an oven-safe skillet because this is basically kind of a one-pot dish. I'm adding my onions in. I'm going to add my peppers in and I'm just going to let these cook down for about five, ten minutes until they're nice and soft. Okay, so my vegetables have cooked down. Now I'm going to add in my rotel and my velveta. And I'm just going to let this cook down until the cheese melts. Alright, so our cheese melted out. Now I'm just adding in some cream of chicken soup. Give that a stir. I'm going to add in my chili powder and cumin and my sour cream. And my chicken. And once I get this all combined, I'm going to stir in my macaroni noodles. Okay, so I added my pasta to the skillet and I have a 12 inch skillet and I did have to work a little bit to get everything in there, but it will fit, trust me. If you have a larger skillet, that would be even better. And so now I am just topping this with cheddar cheese. It's going to be so good. And I have my oven preheated to 350 degrees. I'm going to let this bake for about 20, 30 minutes or until the cheese is all nice and melty. Okay, so here is the casserole. I ended up baking it for half an hour. It's been out of the oven for about 15 minutes and I scooped some out so you guys could see the inside. And here it is. So gooey and creamy. It is so delicious. And I have some here on my plate as well, so you guys could see it. But as you could see, it's a really quick and easy casserole comes together very easily. I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
