Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb ground beef
Dairy:
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 10 ½ ounces cans cream of mushroom soup
Pantry Ingredients:
- 1 13-16 ounce bag plain Doritos
- 1 10 ounce can Rotel Tomatoes, chopped
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 ½ cups chopped onions
Instructions
- Crank your oven to a toasty 375°F and grab a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Grab your skillet and sauté 1 pound ground beef with 1 ½ cups chopped onions over medium heat until the meat turns perfectly brown.
- Mix 2 cans (10 ½ ounces each) cream of mushroom soup with 1 ½ cups water and your chopped Rotel Tomatoes in a separate bowl.
- Crush half a 13-16 ounce bag of plain Doritos and create an even layer across the bottom of your baking dish.
- Spread your cooked beef and onion mixture directly over the crushed chips.
- Pour the creamy soup mixture across the entire beef layer, making sure everything gets nicely coated.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Crush the remaining Doritos and distribute them across the cheese layer for a crispy topping.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for precisely 30 minutes until the cheese turns golden and bubbles form.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving your delicious creation hot.
Notes
- Crush Doritos roughly for better texture and crunch in every bite.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease in the casserole.
- Drain beef completely after cooking to prevent a soggy bottom layer of Doritos.
- For a spicier version, choose hot Rotel Tomatoes or add jalapeños to the beef mixture.
