Description
A layered casserole featuring crushed Doritos, seasoned ground beef, creamy soups, and melted cheese baked to gooey perfection.
Ingredients
- 14 oz party-size Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 1½–2 lb ground beef
- 1 (10¾ oz) can cheddar cheese soup
- 1 (10¾ oz) can cream of chicken soup
- 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
- 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
- 2–3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 packet taco seasoning (optional)
- Optional toppings: sour cream, diced green onion, cherry tomatoes, avocado, salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (about 175 °C).
- In a large pan, brown the ground beef and drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning if using.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese soup, cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk, and diced green chilies. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture is bubbly.
- Prepare a 9×13″ baking dish by spraying with nonstick spray.
- Layer ½ of the crushed Doritos in the bottom of the dish (break some but not too finely).
- Spoon ½ of the meat/soup mixture over the chips.
- Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded cheese over the meat layer.
- Repeat layers with remaining Doritos, remaining meat mixture, and remaining cheese.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
- Remove from oven and, if desired, top with sour cream, diced green onions, tomatoes, avocado, or salsa before serving.
Notes
- Crunch the chips slightly, but avoid crushing them into tiny bits.
- Using lean ground beef (e.g. 90%) helps reduce greasiness.
- You can substitute different Doritos flavors or different cheese blends.
- Leftovers soften a bit but still remain tasty.
