Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 large bag Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor)
- 1 can diced tomatoes and green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tbsp cilantro
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup of water to the cooked meat. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the diced tomatoes and green chilies (including the liquid), 4 oz of cream cheese, and 1/2 cup of sour cream. Mix well until creamy and heated through. Remove from the heat.
Place a layer of crushed Doritos (about 1/3 of the bag) at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spoon half of the beef mixture over the crushed Doritos, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese on top.
Add another layer of crushed Doritos (another 1/3 of the bag), followed by the remaining beef mixture and 1 more cup of shredded cheese on top.
Top with the last 1/3 of the crushed Doritos for a crunchy topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy taco goodness!
