Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 1 can (15 ounces) refried beans
  • 1 can (10 ounces) Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed nacho cheese soup
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 bag (9.25 ounces) Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips (Doritos)
  • 1 cup sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir the taco seasoning mix, refried beans, Ro-Tel, water, and nacho cheese soup into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
  5. Spread half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Crush about half of the Doritos and sprinkle them evenly over the meat mixture in the dish.
  7. Spoon the remaining meat mixture over the crushed chips.
  8. Top with the remaining whole and crushed Doritos.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer of chips.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • For a different flavor profile, substitute cooked ground chicken for the ground beef.
  • If you do not have nacho cheese soup, you can substitute 1 can of cream of chicken soup mixed with 1/2 cup of milk and 4 ounces of Velveeta cheese.
  • Crush the chips by placing them in a large zip-top bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin for an easy way to get uniform crumbs.
