Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10 oz) rotel tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 bag (11 oz) Doritos (nacho cheese flavor)
- 2 tablespoons diced green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and rotel tomatoes with green chilies. Mix well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream. Set the mixture aside.
Crush about half of the Doritos and spread them evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Spoon the beef mixture over the crushed Doritos, spreading it into an even layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the beef mixture.
Top the cheese with another layer of crushed Doritos, followed by the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with diced green onions if desired before serving.
