Dorito Casserole: A Family Favorite

I think we could all use a little comfort food right about now and I’ve got the perfect recipe.  Dorito casserole is such a hit that I have to double the recipe when I make it because my kids’ friends always want to eat dinner with us the nights this is on the menu.  Not going to lie, I was a little skeptical at first, but my husband and I love this just as much as Emery and Bodie.  I found this recipe on https://www.spendwithpennies.com several years ago.  Holly’s site is loaded with great recipes in all sorts of categories.  Check it out!

Ingredients

  • 1 family size bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (I’ve also used ground turkey breast and it’s still delicious)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 package low sodium taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cream of chicken or mushroom soup (I use cheddar soup because my kids don’t like the chunks of chicken or mushrooms)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Tex Mex or cheddar)
  • Optional toppings:  shredded lettuce, tomatoes, olives, sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook ground beef with onion and garlic until no pink remains. Drain any fat.
  • Add taco seasoning, salsa and 1/3 cup of water. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes and remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine beef mixture, sour cream, soup and 1 cup of cheese.
  • Slightly crush Doritos (not completely, you don’t want crumbs). Layer 1 1/2 cups Doritos in the bottom of a 2 qt casserole dish . Top with 1/2 of the beef mixture. Repeat layers. Finally top with an additional 1 to 1 1/2 cups Doritos and remaining cheese.
  • Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and cover casserole.
  • Bake 30 minutes covered, remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Top with lettuce, tomatoes and olives if desired.

I usually serve this gourmet dinner with canned corn and fruit.  It’s quick and easy and comforting.  Hard to ask for much more than that, right?  Enjoy!
