Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
1 can refried beans 16 ounce
1 can Rotel 14.5 ounce
1/2 small onion
15 ounce bag Doritos Nacho Cheese
1 cup sour cream
3 cups shredded cheese Mexican blend

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 9x13 pan.
In a skillet add your ground beef and diced onion. Cook on medium-high heat until fully cooked.
Next you will add in the taco seasoning plus water. Mix well to ensure all the meat is coated well.
Stir in the refried beans mixing well.
Turn heat off and pour in the Rotel, sour cream, and mix well. Once well mixed set aside.
In your casserole pan you will add around a cup of Doritos, and crush them slightly. Then add a thin layer of shredded cheese.
Pour your meat mixture on top of the Doritos.
Top with the rest of the cheese, and crush 2-3 cups of Doritos on top. I just break them a little bit, don't over-crush or they will sog up.
Bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until warmed through.
Once the Dorito casserole is done, remove and serve with extra sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes or other toppings.

Notes

Ground Beef - You can swap the ground beef with ground turkey, pork, or even used cooked chicken. Shredded or diced.

Drain Grease - Drain off excess grease from your meat before you add in the taco seasoning.

Mix-ins - Swap the refried beans with washed and rinsed black beans. Or add in a can of drained corn.

Spice - You can use a hot taco seasoning and hot Rotel if you want extra spice.
