1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 bag Doritos, crushed
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare for the casserole.
- Brown the ground beef over medium heat in a skillet until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet with browned beef, stirring to fully coat, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and diced tomatoes with green chilies, mixing well.
- Layer half of the crushed Doritos across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, evenly spreading them out.
- Spread the ground beef mixture over the Doritos in the baking dish, ensuring an even layer across all parts.
- Pour the soup mixture over the beef layer, making sure it’s evenly covered before moving to the next step.
- Top the casserole with the remaining crushed Doritos followed by the shredded cheddar cheese spread across the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly on top.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving to ensure it sets properly and is easier to dish out.
