Make this hearty, cheesy Dorito Casserole using ground beef, cream of chicken soup, and Nacho Cheese Doritos for a quick family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (9.75 ounce) bag Nacho Cheese Doritos, lightly crushed
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir the cream of chicken soup, Ro-Tel, sour cream, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder into the skillet with the beef mixture. Mix well.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and the water until combined.
  5. Spread half of the crushed Doritos in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Pour the meat mixture evenly over the layer of chips.
  7. Top the meat mixture with the remaining crushed Doritos.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer of chips.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • For a crunchier topping, reserve one-third of the crushed Doritos to sprinkle on top just before the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • You can substitute Cool Ranch Doritos for Nacho Cheese if you prefer that flavor profile.
  • If you do not have Ro-Tel, use one 10-ounce can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for heat.
