Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag (14 ounces) Nacho Cheese Doritos, party size
- 1½–2 pounds ground beef
- 1 can (10¾ ounces) cheddar cheese soup
- 1 can (10¾ ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 2–3 cups Mexican cheese blend, shredded
- 1 packet taco seasoning (optional)
- Sour cream (optional topping)
- Green onions, diced (optional topping)
- Cherry tomatoes, sliced (optional topping)
- Avocado or guacamole (optional topping)
- Salsa (optional topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Break it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
- If using taco seasoning, stir it into the beef and cook for 1–2 more minutes.
- Add cheddar cheese soup, cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk, and diced green chilies. Stir to combine and heat until bubbling.
- Crush half of the Doritos and spread them evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Spoon half of the beef and sauce mixture over the chips. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
- Add the remaining Doritos, followed by the rest of the beef mixture, and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Add desired toppings and serve hot.
Notes
- Use ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter version.
- Make ahead and refrigerate overnight—add fresh Doritos just before baking.
- Spice it up with jalapeños or chipotle peppers for extra heat.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain texture.
