Dorito Casserole
Description
The casserole filling simmers ingredients including ground beef, chorizo, chili beans, kidney beans, cream of chicken soup, Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, onions, black olives, paprika, cumin, and chili powder for an hour to develop a rich, spicy base. Layers of crushed Doritos and cheddar cheese alternate with the meat mixture, finishing with cheese on top. Baking at 350°F melts the cheese and allows the chips to soften slightly, melding textures.
This dish is served in lasagna-sized servings and can be topped with shredded iceberg lettuce and sour cream to add coolness and crunch contrast to the spicy casserole. It functions well as a filling main dish for casual meals.
