Ingredients
Use your preferred flavor of Layered Dorito Casserole (I generally use Nacho Cheese) since there are so many to choose from! Try siracha, ranch dressing, or hot and sweet chili!
FILLING A can of condensed soup is combined with cheese, mild or hot salsa, cheese-topped ground beef, and sour cream for tang. It has more flavor and creaminess.
Use premade salsa, store-bought salsa, or even pico de gallo! Although we like making our taco seasoning, a package will do just fine.
Before baking, sprinkle plenty of cheese on top, followed by the usual toppings like shredded lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and sour cream.

Best Recipe Advice
- Place the Doritos in a bag and manually crush them, but not too finely.
- To prevent the casserole from being too soupy, drain the fat from the ground meat.
- Make assembling easier, buy cheese that has already been shredded.
- To prevent the tin foil from sticking to the top layer of cheese, spray it with cooking oil.
- For the last 20 minutes, don’t forget to take off the foil. This will aid in the top layer of the dish becoming golden and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 family size bag Doritos, any flavor 235 g bag (I used Nacho Cheese)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- One onion diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 cup salsa
- One package of low sodium taco seasoning or homemade taco seasoning
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups cheese shredded, divided (Tex Mex or Cheddar)
Optional toppings
- lettuce
- tomato
- olives
- sour cream
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350°F.
- Ground beef should be cooked with onion and garlic until no pink is visible. Remove any fat.
- Add 13 cups of water, salsa, and taco seasoning. Remove from heat after cooking for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Combine the meat mixture, soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of cheese in a big bowl.
- Do not entirely crush the Doritos; you don’t want crumbs. In the bottom of a 2 qt casserole dish, arrange 1 12 cups Doritos. Add half of the meat mixture on top.
- recur in layers. Finally, sprinkle the remaining cheese and 1 to 1 1/2 cups of Doritos on top.
- Cover the casserole with a piece of foil coated with cooking spray.
- Bake for 30 minutes with the lid on, then take off the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until heated and bubbling. If desired, add lettuce, tomatoes, and olives to the top.
