Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bag (9-10 oz) Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Mix in the taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the can of Rotel, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Crush about half the bag of Doritos and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Pour the beef mixture over the crushed Doritos and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
Lightly crush the remaining Doritos and spread them on top of the cheese layer. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions, if desired, before serving.
