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.
