Some people tend to grab something salty and crunchy when they want a quick snack. Perhaps you have felt that way yourself. If you are someone who craves such a treat, you probably have a bag of Doritos on hand. You will be happy to know that they are not only a treat that can be eaten out of the bag, they make for a nice meal as well.
Of course, I’m not talking about dining on a bag of Doritos but you can use them in this delicious Doritos casserole. This recipe uses that crunchy chip as a part of the layers of delicous flavors that are included in the dish. This is a great way to use up some extra Doritos and it will send your family running to the table.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 (10-ounce) can cheese soup
1 (10-ounce) can tomatoes with green chiles
1 (10.5-ounce) bag Doritos chips, Nacho Cheese flavor
3 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
sour cream and salsa for serving
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with vegetable spray.
In a large, deep, non-stick skillet, brown the meat with the onion and taco seasoning until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes, breaking up the meat with the back of a spoon.
Add the soup and tomatoes to the pan and stir until blended.
Use your hands to crush the chips slightly. Place about 1/3 of the crushed chips into the bottom of the pan, then spoon of the meat mixture over the chips. Top with 1 cup of the cheese, spreading evenly in the dish.
Layer another 1/3 of the chips, the rest of the meat, and another cup of the cheese.
Top with a final layer of the chips and top with the final cup of cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes. Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side for topping each serving.
