Type Of Meat: I generally use 80/20 ground beef. Just try to avoid the ones that have added taco seasoning so this perfect casserole doesn’t get too salty.

You can also substitute a Colby/jack combo or Mexican blend.

Cheese (Jack Cheese and Cheddar) – A generous mound of shredded cheese on top makes this Dorito bake a proper casserole, and I like to use a combination of Monterey jack cheese, which melts really smoothly, and a medium to sharp cheddar.

You can also run over the bag once or twice with a rolling pin or wine bottle.

To crush them, open the bag (so the air trapped inside doesn’t create a Doritos explosion in your kitchen), then just squeeze the bag to crush them by hand.

Don’t throw away that slightly stale bag of chips either because they’ll work just fine in this recipe.

This is a great way to use up a partial bag of Doritos, like the ones that have been carefully picked over to extract all the fully intact triangles.

They will soften in the oven, just like they do in migas or chilaquiles, and you’ll find some in every bite thanks to the layering technique. I like to keep them in relatively large chunks too so you’ll have substantial seasoned tortilla pieces.

Dorito’s Nacho Cheese – I use the Nacho Cheese variety, but feel free to experiment with your favorite.

I love the texture of the little bits of mushroom, plus the subtle earthy flavor. The soup thickens and adds a luscious quality to the filling in this Doritos casserole, which is precisely why so many of our favorite casseroles utilize this magical canned good. Sour Cream – adds a little tang and extra body to the dish, and cream of mushroom soup.I also like that my casserole ends up a little more tomato-y, since the actual quantity of tomatoes will be more than in a single can of Rotel.Some recipes make this Dorito casserole with Rotel tomatoes, but they’re seasoned with “secret spices” in addition to green chilies and I’d rather control the flavors myself with the not-so-secret ingredients in taco seasoning. Canned Petite Diced Tomatoes – I like plain, petite diced tomatoes in this recipe so there are lots of tiny pieces throughout the filling.Many home cooks even make their own mix, to control the salt and adjust the flavor to their own liking, and you’ll need about 4 tablespoons of homemade to substitute here. I always keep extra on hand at my house too because it makes a great “sprinkle” for popcorn, nuts, and fries, or an easy mix-in to some mayo and sour cream for a quick taco salad dressing.

Mild Taco Seasoning – This is such a great time saver since they’re full of onions, chili powder, cumin, and other spices you’d have to measure (maybe even buy) separately.Onion – Either yellow or white will work.You’ll have some excess oil to remove after browning it with the onions, but the beef will be flavorful enough to hold its own in the rest of the casserole. Ground Beef – My version’s made with beef – ground chuck or another cut of meat with an 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio.Try a few more of my favorite recipes that use this fabulous ingredient next!

Tortilla chips are great, but there’s nothing quite like Doritos, those thin crispy chips dusted with cheese, spicy peppers, or ranch dressing!ĭid you know Doritos descended onto supermarket shelves the same year Captain Kirk was “beamed up” to the Enterprise? (That was 1966, by the way, when Southern Living also hit the printer.) I always thought that the Starfleet logo looked a lot like one of my favorite, cheese-crusted snack foods! My Dorito casserole is a hearty beef casserole with delicious layers of flavorful Dorito and lots of cheese.
