Savory layered dish with ground beef, taco seasoning, crushed Doritos, and melted cheddar ready in thirty minutes.
# Ingredients Needed:
→ Meat
01 -
1 pound ground beef
→ Seasoning and Sauces
02 -
1 packet (approximately 1 ounce) taco seasoning
03 -
1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
04 -
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup
05 -
0.5 cup milk
→ Chips and Cheese
06 -
6 ounces crushed Doritos (your choice of flavor)
07 -
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and juices have mostly evaporated, about 7 minutes.
02 -
Stir in taco seasoning, undrained diced tomatoes with green chilies, cheddar cheese soup, and milk. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld flavors and slightly thicken the sauce.
03 -
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly across the bottom to create a crispy base.
04 -
Evenly spoon the beef mixture over the Doritos base and spread with a spatula for uniform coverage.
05 -
Sprinkle the remaining crushed Doritos evenly over the beef layer. Finish by distributing shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
06 -
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) on the center rack for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to set layers.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For best texture, crush Doritos immediately before assembly to maintain crispness.
02 -
Shred cheddar cheese from a block for optimal melt and flavor.
03 -
Allowing the casserole to cool slightly makes it easier to serve and enhances flavor integration.
