# What You’ll Need:
→ Meat
01 -
1 pound ground beef
→ Seasonings and Sauces
02 -
1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 oz)
03 -
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
04 -
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cheddar cheese soup
05 -
1/2 cup whole milk
→ Crunchy Layers
06 -
3 cups crushed Doritos chips
→ Cheese
07 -
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, break up and cook the ground beef until fully browned and most juices evaporate, about 7 minutes.
02 -
Stir in taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, cheddar cheese soup, and milk. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld flavors and slightly thicken sauce.
03 -
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Evenly spread half of the crushed Doritos to form a crunchy base layer.
04 -
Spoon the hot beef mixture over the Doritos base and use a spatula to distribute into an even layer.
05 -
Cover with remaining crushed Doritos and sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly on top. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese bubbles and browns lightly.
06 -
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow layers to set for easier slicing and serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Crush Doritos just before layering to maintain crispiness.
02 -
Shred cheese fresh from block for optimal melt and flavor.
03 -
Can be made ahead and reheated; freezes well in portions.
04 -
Let cool slightly before serving to help layers set.
