Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 bag (12 ounces) nacho cheese Doritos
• 1 small onion (optional, diced)
• 1 tablespoon oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion (if using) and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water (or as directed on the seasoning packet). Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is evenly coated and the mixture thickens.

Step 5

Add the Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream to the skillet. Stir until well combined and heated through.

Step 6

In a large casserole dish (9x13-inch), spread a layer of slightly crushed Doritos on the bottom, covering the base of the dish.

Step 7

Evenly spoon half of the beef mixture over the Doritos layer, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.

Step 8

Repeat with another layer of crushed Doritos, the remaining beef mixture, and the remaining 1 cup of shredded 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 it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional crushed Doritos, sour cream, diced tomatoes, or chopped cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
