Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10 ounces) can of Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 bag (11-12 ounces) Doritos (any flavor, nacho cheese recommended)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the browned beef. Stir well and let simmer according to the taco seasoning packet instructions, usually about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and Rotel. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Lightly crush the Doritos in the bag to create smaller pieces, but not too fine. You want a mix of bite-sized chunks for texture.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a single layer of the crushed Doritos to cover the bottom of the dish.
Top the Doritos layer with half of the seasoned ground beef mixture.
Spread half of the soup and sour cream mixture evenly over the meat layer.
Sprinkle one cup of shredded Mexican cheese blend evenly on top of the sauce layer.
Repeat the layers: crushed Doritos, remaining ground beef, remaining soup mixture, and the final cup of 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 it cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor and color.
Serve hot and enjoy!
