Make dinner time exciting with this deliciously easy Doritos Casserole. Nacho cheese flavor meets seasoned taco meat, baked and covered with cheese! This is a family favorite meal that comes together in no time.
Ingredients
- 10 ounce bag nacho cheese Doritos
- 1 pound cooked taco meat
- 2 cups mexican cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa con queso (I used Newman’s Own)
- Cherry tomatoes, optional topping
- Green Onions, optional topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Layer a 9 or 10-inch square baking dish with half of the lightly broken Doritos.
- Combine cooked taco meat, sour cream, and queso cheese together in a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Layer half of the taco meat mixture on top of the Doritos in the casserole dish.
- Layer half of the shredded mexican cheese on top of the taco mixture.
- Repeat steps 2-5 once more.
- Bake for 20 minutes covered with foil, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Serve hot with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
- Use a 2 quart baking dish for today's casserole.
- You can use your favorite flavor Doritos, such as Spicy Nacho, Cool Ranch, etc.
- Shredded cheddar cheese can be used in place of Mexican.
- If you are not using crockpot taco meat, you can cook 1lb of ground beef until browned then add in 1 packet of taco seasoning and 8 to 12 ounces of salsa and cook over low until thickened, then continue with the rest of the recipe.
- Feel free to top and serve with other toppings such as shredded lettuce, avocado, etc.
- The Doritos maintain some crunchiness while baking, don’t break them down too much, just enough to keep the layer sort of flat.
- See blog post for more recipe tips and tricks.
