Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
- 1 can (15 ounces) refried beans
- 1 cup water
- 1 can (10 ounces) Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed nacho cheese soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 bag (9.25 ounces) Nacho Cheese Flavored Doritos, slightly crushed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir the taco seasoning mix, refried beans, water, and Ro-Tel into the skillet with the meat mixture. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the condensed nacho cheese soup and sour cream until smooth.
- Spread half of the meat mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer half of the crushed Doritos over the meat layer.
- Spread half of the cheese and sour cream mixture over the Doritos.
- Repeat the layers: remaining meat mixture, remaining Doritos, and the remaining cheese and sour cream mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, save a small handful of Doritos to sprinkle on top right before serving.
- You can substitute ground turkey or cooked shredded chicken for the ground beef if you prefer.
- If you do not have nacho cheese soup, you can substitute 10 ounces of your favorite creamy cheese sauce.
