DORITOS CASSEROLE
It may have never crossed your mind that Doritos are simply flavored tortilla chips. Granted, the tortilla chips that are Doritos are definitely unique. For most of us who grew up snacking on the beloved Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch flavors, we didn't always make the connection that these seasoned chips were akin to the chips we love with salsa. But it's this similarity that makes Doritos a reasonable ingredient for a corn tortilla-style casserole.Our Doritos Casserole takes the familiar base of cooked onion, garlic, and ground beef and seasons it with a packet of taco seasoning. We mix in a can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes for both acidity and smokiness. A can of chopped green chiles adds some flavor and spice, and a can of cream of chicken soup dissolves into the remaining ingredients to give a rich and savory quality to the mixture. We layer this mixture with crushed Doritos and cheddar cheese, and as the casserole bakes, the Doritos soften just a bit from the moisture in the meat. Easy to slice and serve with some fresh cilantro, the rich flavor of our Doritos Casserole will surprise you just as much as the people you're serving.

Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add beef and break up with a spoon; cook until completely browned. Add taco seasoning and stir to incorporate. Mix in tomatoes, green chiles, and cream of chicken, and stir occasionally over medium-high until liquid thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer chips from the Doritos bag to a large bowl. Use your hands to break up the chips until the pieces are small but not quite crumbs.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour one-third of the meat mixture in the bottom of a 9- x- 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1/3 cup shredded cheese over the layer of meat. Sprinkle half of the crushed Doritos evenly on top of the shredded cheese. Pour another third of the meat mixture on top of this Dorito layer and spread evenly over the chips. Repeat the layering process with another 1/3 cup cheese and remaining Doritos. Pour remaining meat mixture over top and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining 2/3 cup shredded cheese on top. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake until the cheese begins to brown, about 20 minutes.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving with fresh cilantro to garnish.

DORITO® CASSEROLE
Got this recipe from a friend WAY back in junior high. Super simple and tastes delicious. My kids ask for it all the time. If you love enchiladas, you'll love this recipe. You can use any flavor Doritos® to suit your tastes. When reheating leftover casserole, stir in a little bit of milk to make it creamy again.

Steps:
- 1. Combine chicken, sour cream, soup, onion, corn, 1 c each cheese, garlic, pepper, poultry seasoning, mix well. Spray 9x13 with PAM. Put evenly into bottom, top with remaining 1 c cheddar, and crushed doritos. Bake at 350 degrees, 25 min, or until bubbly, then let rest 5-10 min and serve. I like my mexican style things to have additional sour cream, guacamole, and shredded lettuce. Hubby likes chopped up tomatoes.
Tips:
- Use a variety of Doritos flavors: This will give your casserole a more complex flavor and make it more visually appealing. You can use any flavor of Doritos you like, but some popular choices include Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, and Salsa Verde.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes this casserole so rich and gooey. Use a good quality cheddar cheese, and don't be afraid to use a lot of it. You can also add other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack, to create a more complex flavor.
- Add some protein: This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken, beef, or pork. You can also add some cooked beans or lentils for a vegetarian option.
- Don't overcook the casserole: The Doritos will start to get soggy if you overcook the casserole. Cook it just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Doritos casserole include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and chopped cilantro. You can also serve it with a side of rice or beans.
Conclusion:
Doritos casserole is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover Doritos or other chips. With its cheesy, crunchy, and flavorful filling, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
