Our King Ranch Breakfast Bake recipe was inspired by all those hardworking Texas ranch-hands who always start their day with a hearty breakfast. This Tex-Mex style breakfast casserole is absolutely stuffed with everything your gang needs to get the day going!
What You'll Need
- 1/2 (16-ounce) French bread loaf, cubed
- 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1/2-inch strips

- 10 eggs
- 1 (10-1/2-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

What to Do
