Ingredients For Dortios Casserole

• Doritos: There are many flavors of Doritos, use your favorite (I use Nacho Cheese). Try siracha, cool ranch, or spicy-sweet chili.
• Meat: This recipe uses lean ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning.
• Sauce: The creamy sauce combines condensed soup, sour cream, and salsa (mild or hot). It’s easy and delicious.
• Cheese: Cheddar or a Mexican cheese blend works well here.

Variations

• Filling: Mix refried beans or black beans into the meat mixture, add extra vegetables, like corn or green chiles, or stretch the casserole by adding rice.
• Toppings: Top with your favorite vegetables like shredded lettuce or fresh diced tomatoes, or add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole on top of each serving.
• Garnish: Before serving sprinkle with cilantro, sliced green onions, or olives for added flavor.

Holly’s Casserole Tips

• For crushing the Doritos, place them in a bag and crush them by hand, but not too small.
• Drain the fat from the ground beef so the casserole is not too runny.
• Buy pre-shredded cheese to make the assembly easier.
• Spray the tin foil with cooking oil so it doesn’t stick to the top layer of cheese.
• Remember to remove the foil for the last 20 minutes. This will help the casserole top layer turn brown and bubbly.
