Casserole Featuring Doritos

This recipe combines two of my favorite things- Dorito chips and taco casserole flavors. YUM! Casseroles are one of my favorite things to make for dinner. They are so simple and always delicious.

Casseroles also travel well and feed a bunch of people so they are perfect for bringing over to a friends house or cooking for a crowd. Casseroles just can’t be beat.

This Dorito casserole is super tasty. I love all of the Mexican flavors mixed in with the crunch Dorito chips. Each layer has a different flavor which all combines for one incredible bite! Put this on your dinner menu this week- you can thank me later!!
DORITO TACO CASSEROLE
I’m not preaching this as health food. I know some folks love to hate on Doritos. So, if that is you, just click away now. 😉 For everyone else – let’s enjoy this layered goodness of seasoned ground beef, Doritos, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, lettuce, two kinds of cheeses and catalina dressing. Oh yeah!

Ingredients

1 (family size) bag Doritos, any flavor (I used Nacho Cheese)
1 onion, diced
1 pound lean ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 package McCormick low sodium taco seasoning
1 cup Old El Paso salsa
1 cup Daisy sour cream
1 can Campbells cream of chicken or mushroom soup
2 cups Kraft shredded cheese, (I used tex mex blend)

Optional toppings
Lettuce
Tomato
Olives
Sour Cream

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place salsa in a strainer to drain while you prepare the beef.
Cook ground beef with onion and garlic until no pink remains. Add taco seasoning and ½ cup of water. Stir until thickened, then remove from heat.
Combine drained salsa, sour cream, soup and 1 cup of cheese in a bowl. Add in beef and stir well.
Slightly crush Doritos, but not into small crumbs. Layer 1&1/2 cups Doritos in the bottom of a casserole dish. Top with ½ of the beef mixture. Repeat layers. Top with an additional 1 to 1½ cups Doritos and remaining cheese.
Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and cover casserole. Bake 30 minutes covered, remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
