Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large pan, brown the ground beef over medium heat, then drain the fat. If using taco seasoning, add it now to infuse the beef with extra flavor.
- Create the Cheese Mixture: Add the cheddar cheese soup, cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk, and diced green chilies to the ground beef. Stir and cook over medium heat until the mixture is bubbly and well combined.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Coat a baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Spread half of the Doritos at the bottom, lightly crumbling them for a base layer.
- Assemble the Casserole: Scoop half of the beef mixture over the Doritos. Add a layer of 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese on top. Repeat the layers using the remaining Doritos, beef mixture, and cheese.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the assembled casserole in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dish is fully heated through.
Notes
- Customize by adding or omitting any additional toppings to suit your taste.
- Ensure Doritos are lightly crumbled to maintain texture.
