Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 bag (9 ounces) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and the undrained Rotel tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup and sour cream. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Add the meat mixture to the cheese mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Top evenly with the crushed Doritos and the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
For a chicken version, substitute 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken for the ground beef.
You can assemble this casserole ahead of time and freeze it. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
For a spicier casserole, use a can of hot Rotel or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the meat mixture.
This casserole pairs well with a simple side salad or corn on the cob.
