Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
- 1 can (10 ounces) Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 1 large bag (15 ounces) Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning packet and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked ground beef. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the seasoning to fully incorporate. Remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese, and the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained). Mix until well combined.
Spread a layer of crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos (about one-third of the bag) evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread half of the seasoned ground beef over the layer of Doritos.
Spread half of the creamy cheese mixture over the ground beef.
Add another layer of crushed Doritos (about one-third of the bag), followed by the remaining ground beef and the remaining cheese mixture.
Top with the final layer of crushed Doritos and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
Serve warm and enjoy your Nacho Doritos Casserole!
