Must-Have Ingredients For Your Low Carb King Ranch Casserole
You need to have some important ingredients to make your Low Carb King Ranch Casserole, including:
- Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast. Use cubed pieces of boneless chicken breast without the skin to add protein to your casserole. Try making this chicken in the instant pot.
- Taco Seasoning. The taco seasoning adds flavor to the chicken and the casserole as a whole.
- Cream Cheese. Create a creamier, cheesier consistency with cream cheese.
- Bell Peppers. Include a crunch in your casserole by using some bell peppers in the dish.
- Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies. Do not forget to add your diced tomatoes with green chilies because they bring more flavor to the dish and go perfectly with the taco seasoning and chicken.
You need a few other ingredients, such as olive oil, packaged mushrooms, onions, sour cream, xanthan gum, heavy cream, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
Ways to Store the Low Carb King Ranch Casserole
Store your Low Carb King Ranch Casserole in a tupperware container. You need to make sure the container has a matching lid that will keep the food sealed while blocking excess air from seeping into the food.
If you are storing it in the refrigerator, you can keep it there for up to four days before you would need to bake it or put it in your microwave to make it hot. If you want to store it in the freezer, you can keep it there for about three months before it needs to be defrosted and heated.
What to Add to Customize the Low Carb King Ranch Casserole
Add anything you want to customize this Low Carb King Ranch Casserole, giving it even more flavor. You might want to put black beans, sweet yellow corn, or chopped pieces of broccoli into the mix with the other ingredients, such as the mushrooms and bell peppers.
You can also substitute certain ingredients if you need to do so because you do not have a specific ingredient or because you do not like it. You might also want to add extra cheese to the dish. While it calls for cream cheese, you can include shredded variations of your favorite cheeses to the top of the Low Carb King Ranch Casserole if you would like.
