Dorito Casserole Recipe Easy Cheesy Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure a high-intensity bake.

In a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced onions until the beef is thoroughly seared and mahogany-colored.

Drain the rendered fat using a colander to ensure the base remains firm and not oily.

Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid has fully evaporated.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the seasoned beef mixture with the cream of chicken soup, drained Rotel, and sour cream until a silky gravy forms.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the crushed Doritos. Spread the creamy beef mixture evenly over the chips.

Top with a blend of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese to create a moisture barrier, then finish with the remaining crushed chips.

Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is molten and the top chips are toasted.
