Dorito Casserole
Description
This casserole begins with browning ground beef and onions, then adding minced garlic, taco seasoning, and salsa to build a flavorful meat mixture. Once cooked and combined, sour cream is stirred in to add creaminess. The mixture is layered in a baking dish alternated with shredded cheddar cheese and crushed Doritos, with the final layer topped by more cheese.
Baking melts the cheese and softens the Doritos slightly, while retaining some crispness. The nacho cheese flavor from the chips adds a sharp, cheesy note paired with the well-seasoned meat and creamy elements. After baking, toppings such as diced tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro, jalapeños, or diced avocado may be added to refresh the casserole with contrasting textures and flavors.
This dish serves as a hearty main course inspired by Mexican flavors, suitable for casual meals and can feed a crowd. It combines convenience and bold flavor through layered textures.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 white onion Diced
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 Nacho Cheese Doritos 10 oz bag, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9X13 pan with a non stick cooking spray.
- Brown the ground beef with the onion in a large skillet over medium high heat. Then drain off any excess grease.
- Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Then add in the Taco Seasoning and Salsa. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream.
- Pour 1/2 of the meat mixture into the 9X13 pan, top with 1/3 (approximately 2/3 cups) of the shredded cheese and half of the crushed Doritos. Then repeat these layers again. You will have some shredded cheese remaining.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the remaining shredded cheese and bake for 5-10 more minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
- Top with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Recommended toppings include diced tomatoes, fresh lettuce, cilantro, jalapeños, and avocado for added freshness and texture contrast.
- Use crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos to impart distinctive cheesy and crunchy layers within the casserole.
