Submitted by Billy Mengers NOTES : Every Texas cookbook has a recipe for King Ranch Chicken or King Ranch Casserole (made with chicken). All of these cookbooks say that the King Ranch dissavows any knowledge of this recipe and no one knows where it comes from. This casserole is made with beef instead of chicken (much more likely at the King Ranch). The introduction to the recipe claims an association to the King Ranch. Maybe its true; maybe its not. Billy Mengers writes: "When I was about four years old, I attended one of the famous Santa Gertrudis sales on the King Ranch at the Big House with my dad, Wilbur Mengers. I tasted this dish there for the first time, and it has been one of my favorites ever since. Nowadays, I prepare it for my own family.
