Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Medium salsa
- 1 10.5-ounce can Cream of chicken soup
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 cups (about 1 large bag) Nacho cheese-flavored Doritos
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
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, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add the taco seasoning mix and 3/4 cup of water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well to combine, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the medium salsa, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until fully combined. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In the prepared casserole dish, spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly over the bottom.
Spoon half of the beef mixture over the Doritos, spreading it into an even layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.
Repeat the layers: add the remaining crushed Doritos, the rest of the beef mixture, and top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
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 slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving.
