King Ranch Casserole with Doritos

King Ranch Casserole with Doritos is a creamy chicken casserole with peppers and crunchy Doritos! This is fuss free dinner is a delicious gluten free dinner the whole family will love!

This classic casserole has been around for generations. It is popular in the South but it has made it has way into every potluck and is always a winner. My mom originally got this recipe from Betty Crocker so you know it's a good one. I had a friend make it with Doritos and thought that I had to make this myself. My family loves Doritos so I thought this would be a fun family dinner.

KIDS IN THE KITCHEN

The second time I made this my kids, who are 4 and 6 years old, actually helped me make this dinner. I just chopped everything up prior to having them help. They loved breaking the Doritos and layering all the food. Of course, they loved eating the dinner they made and were so proud of themselves. It was a fun way to get the kids in the kitchen and helping with dinner.

KING RANCH CASSEROLE WITH DORITOS- GLUTEN FREE

Casserole are one of my favorite dinners to make because they are easy to make on busy weeknight. We have baseball and swimming right now so I always need to have dinner prepped and ready to go for when we get home from all of our sports. This recipe was perfect because it took less than ten minutes to make and then I could turn it on and go about my day. Another favorite fix it and forget it casserole is my Beefy Potato Taco Casserole, I think the name speaks for itself.

I make all my recipes gluten free because my husband has celiac disease, which means you are allergic to gluten. This recipe can be made gluten free with two quick changes to the recipe. You just use Gluten Free Cream of Chicken Soup and Gluten Free Cream of Mushroom Soup. I always use Pacific Foods Soups because I know they are certified gluten free. And Doritos are naturally gluten-free(YAY!).
