DORITOS CASSEROLE



Doritos Casserole image

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.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 pound ground beef
1 package taco seasoning
1 (14.5-oz.) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
1 (4.25-oz.) can chopped green chiles
1 (15-oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1 (9.75-oz.) bag Doritos Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips
1 1/3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Fresh cilantro to garnish, optional

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.

NACHO CHEESE CASSEROLE



Nacho Cheese Casserole image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 total servings (8 servings per pan)

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
One 28-ounce can enchilada sauce
One 10-ounce can enchilada sauce
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dishes
One 15-ounce bag nacho cheese-flavored chips, such as Doritos
2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded romaine
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sliced black olives
3 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • For the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the vegetable oil and flour. Cook, whisking, until it begins to bubble; let it bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the enchilada sauce, chicken broth, cumin and some salt and pepper. Raise the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer while you prepare the meat.
  • For the meat: Brown the ground beef with the garlic and onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain the fat and stir in the cumin and salt to combine. Stir the meat into the simmering sauce and shut off the heat.
  • For the casserole: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease one 9-by-13-inch aluminum foil baking dish and one 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Break up the chips by crushing the bag slightly with your hands. Make sure not to over crush the chips; you're looking for pieces, not crumbs. Mix together the cheeses in a medium bowl.
  • Divide a third of the broken chips between the prepared baking dishes. Top each with a quarter of the beef mixture and 2/3 cup of the cheese. Repeat, adding another layer of chips, beef mix and cheese to each. Finish by dividing the remaining chips between the baking dishes. Top each with 2/3 cup cheese.
  • Cover the glass baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until bubbly, another 15 to 20 minutes.
  • For the toppings: Top the cooked casserole with the shredded romaine, diced Roma tomatoes, sour cream and sliced black olives and green onions before serving.
  • Allow the aluminum foil baking dish to cool completely while the other is baking. Once cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Transfer to the freezer.
  • To bake from frozen, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the baking dish and re-cover with foil. Bake, covered, for 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with another batch of the toppings.
