Dorito Casserole

Dorito Casserole layers seasoned ground beef and chorizo cooked with beans, tomatoes, and spices between crushed cheese-flavored Doritos and shredded cheddar cheese. Baked until bubbly and golden, it combines spicy, savory, and cheesy elements with the crunchy texture of the chips softened by the casserole juices. This hearty dish offers a twist on traditional casseroles using snack chips for added flavor and texture.

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.
