Cooking Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350-375°F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in the taco seasoning and simmer the mixture for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the crushed Doritos evenly across the bottom. Layer the beef mixture on top, followed by another layer of crushed Doritos.
Spread a layer of sour cream over the beef mixture for added moisture and flavor. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake it in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. After that, uncover the dish and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Top with diced tomatoes, green onions, and any other desired toppings like salsa or chopped cilantro.
Extra Tips:
For added texture and flavor, consider incorporating black beans and corn into the beef mixture. Additionally, using different flavors of Doritos can enhance the overall taste of the casserole.
You can also experiment with different cheese blends to suit your taste preferences.
Be sure to let the casserole rest before serving to allow the layers to set, making it easier to cut and serve.
Enjoy your delicious Dorito casserole!
