Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
• 1 can (10 ounces) Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 1 large bag (15 ounces) Nacho Cheese Doritos
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning packet and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked ground beef. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the seasoning to fully incorporate. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese, and the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained). Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Spread a layer of crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos (about one-third of the bag) evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Spread half of the seasoned ground beef over the layer of Doritos.

Step 7

Spread half of the creamy cheese mixture over the ground beef.

Step 8

Add another layer of crushed Doritos (about one-third of the bag), followed by the remaining ground beef and the remaining cheese mixture.

Step 9

Top with the final layer of crushed Doritos and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded Mexican cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Nacho Doritos Casserole!
