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 heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and the undrained Rotel tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the cream of chicken soup and sour cream until well combined.
Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the crushed Doritos evenly over the top of the mixture.
Top with 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.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
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 refrigerate it. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from chilled.
For extra crunch, add the Doritos just before baking.
