Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 cup Medium salsa
• 1 10.5-ounce can Cream of chicken soup
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 cups (about 1 large bag) Nacho cheese-flavored Doritos
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning mix and 3/4 cup of water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well to combine, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 4

Stir in the medium salsa, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until fully combined. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 5

In the prepared casserole dish, spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly over the bottom.

Step 6

Spoon half of the beef mixture over the Doritos, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

Step 8

Repeat the layers: add the remaining crushed Doritos, the rest of the beef mixture, and top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving.
