Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, blend 1 lb ground beef, 1 large egg, ½ cup milk, 1 cup crushed Doritos, ½ cup diced onion, 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder and chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese until just combined.

- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sauce.
- Scatter an additional ¼ cup crushed Doritos over the cheese for a crispy topping.
- Slide the casserole into the 375°F oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Remove from the oven and let your casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley for extra color and freshness.
Notes
- Crush Doritos just before adding to ensure maximum crunch and prevent sogginess when mixing with meat.
- Substitute ground turkey or plant-based meat for a leaner or vegetarian version of the casserole.
- Choose a low-sodium cheese soup or nacho sauce to control salt content for those watching their intake.
- Let the casserole rest after baking to help it set and make slicing cleaner and more precise.
