CROCKPOT KING RANCH CASSEROLE
This is amazingly good and super easy. If you want to leave the house for the afternoon to come back and have dinner ready to serve, this is the one to try. Bring home a bag of salad and you are set. Real cheese in here, no velveeta. I also use low sodium everything and don't add extra salt. The spiciness makes additional salt unnecessary. Also, if you don't uncover it the last 30 minutes, don't worry about it. It's still just as good. Also good with flour tortillas if you don't have corn on hand.
