Tips:

Use a variety of Doritos flavors to create different flavor combinations. Try using a mix of Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, and Salsa Verde Doritos for a classic flavor profile. For a more unique flavor, try using Sweet Chili Heat or Tangy Ranch Doritos.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. Add your favorite vegetables, meats, or cheeses to the casserole. Some popular additions include ground beef, diced chicken, black beans, corn, and bell peppers.
Make sure to use plenty of cheese. The cheese is what helps to hold the casserole together and gives it a gooey, delicious texture. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of cheese per 1 cup of Doritos.
Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the casserole so that it doesn't overcook.
