Doritos Casserole

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 3-quart or 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Add 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef to a large skillet and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks until no pink remains. Drain off any grease, then add 1 cup finely diced onion and ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Stir 1 cup beef broth, 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and chiles, 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning, and 1 cup sour cream into the meat mixture in the skillet and simmer for 2-3 mintues until it begins to thicken slightly.

With the bag still sealed, lightly crush 1 (9.25-ounce) bag Nacho Cheese Doritos, then layer half of the chips in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

Sprinkle half of the 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chips, then add the meat mixture on top. Add the remaining chips evenly over the top of the meat mixture, followed by the remaining cheese.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.

Allow the casserole to sit for 5 minutes before serving with your choice of taco toppings.
