Ingredients

• 12 ounces Nacho cheese Doritos
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 10 ounces Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained)
• 10.5 ounces Cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and follow the seasoning packet instructions for water, usually around 1/4 cup. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the Rotel and cream of mushroom soup to the skillet. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spread a layer of crushed Doritos (about 1/3 of the bag).

Step 7

Spoon half of the beef mixture evenly over the Doritos layer, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 8

Repeat with another layer of Doritos, the remaining beef mixture, and another 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Add a final layer of Doritos on top and sprinkle with the Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 10

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 12

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, jalapeños, or chopped cilantro, if desired.
