Bland? More jalapenos, sour cream mixed with chili powder, cayenne, cumin to your taste? The candied jalapenos are very good in this dish. YEH! These sweet morsels have been found on the shelves once again!!
Very old tradition. No one knows Guy Fawkes and Guy Fawkes night? “A Penny for the Guy?” “Remember, Remember the 5th of November!” Gingerbread (parkin) is traditionally handed out to the kiddies. This was before the recent rise in Halloween.
Mr. Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament.
I made 2 big loaves of French bread which my kids love to slice thin and use for French Bread Pizza. I love it too. We cook them on the Pizzazz. Little sizzler sausage links cut into little chucks make excellent pizza sausage.
WallyWorld carries this, Aunt Jemima brand. Remember it being in the baking section with the flour, cornstarch. Similar to a flour bag with bits of bright yellow printed on the top portion of the bag. Of course, this being WallyWorld, it might be moved tomorrow.
When asking google about the original, classic King Ranch Casserole this site appeared on Screen.

There is included a tale as to where and what King Ranch.
Thanks. I wonder if the original used canned soups...but I can’t seem to figure out what the original actually was ;-)
In fact this site has a number of found recipes, different origins, different dishes.

LOL Join the club. In the beginning.....mom, aunt, everyone I knew — always used the cream of soup...cream of chicken to be exact. In the 50’s 60’s EVERYTHING was made with a cream of down here in Texas. It became my ‘go to’ when out on my own. Then experimentation, cream of mushroom, Campbells cheddar cheese, nacho cheese. Starting as a ranch wagon meal and evolved into a sought after dish. Tortillas, corn or flour can be used, but so can Tostitos (however, it won’t freeze as well, the chips become soggy) Along with the soup, I always add sour cream. Most times cheddar cheese is a given, but the Mexican blends are just as good, pepperjack, etc along with the cheddar. A can of Rotel Tomatoes is also added for their extra punch.
One blogger had posted about making a cream sauce - more high highfalutin’ than the canned soup. I always remember the canned soup as that was the only way they made it at the time. Sorry, have no idea where or what that site might be, but she wished to take the dish to a more adult level and a bit healthier -thus the elimination of canned soup. Seem to remember she was a blogger much like Pioneer woman....’Cowgirl’ something. Will attempt to check it out.
With the exception of this alternative (cream sauce), every recipe seen and remembered has been with cream of soup

Do you have a link to her recipe? I did a search and can’t find it on her site. I found a recipe for Italian chicken soup that looks good though.
My bad! The site remembered as Pioneer Woman was actually HOMESICK TEXAN. At the time all that was remembered were the recipe w/cream sauce, ranch, and cows LOL.
