Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 bag (9.25 ounces) Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos, lightly crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In the same skillet, stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Ro-Tel, chili powder, cumin, and water. Mix until combined.
  4. Cook the mixture over medium heat until it is hot and bubbling slightly. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. Stir in 1 and 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the sauce.
  6. Fold in about half of the crushed Doritos into the meat mixture.
  7. Spread the entire mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
  8. Top the casserole evenly with the remaining crushed Doritos.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is lightly browned.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top immediately after removing it from the oven so it melts slightly.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, use the Hot & Spicy Doritos or add a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or cooked shredded chicken for the ground beef to make a Chicken Dorito Casserole variation.
  • Crush the Doritos by placing them in a large zip-top bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass.
