Ground beef recipes are always a hit with my husband and kids. We make quite a few of them!

This delicious Dorito casserole recipe is one of my favorite ways to utilize the ground beef I have on hand.

It’s the perfect dish for kids, thanks to the crispy layers of crushed Doritos tortilla chips!

How To Make Dorito Casserole

This dish is loaded with tasty ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to grab at the grocery store.

Nacho Cheese-flavored Doritos, lightly crushed

1 lb. ground beef

taco seasoning

black beans, rinsed and drained

corn, drained

diced tomatoes and green chiles (Ro-tel)

cream of chicken soup

8 ounces sour cream

2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided

Garnish with tomatoes and cilantro, optional

To make my scrumptious Dorito casserole, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.

Next, in a large skillet, cook the ground beef until done, and drain off any excess grease.

After that, add ⅓ cup water and the taco seasoning, stir and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn off the heat.

Stir in the black beans, corn, tomatoes and green chiles, cream of chicken soup and the sour cream.

Now, spread ½ of the crunchy Doritos chips evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan (spray pan with Pam), and layer with half of the meat mixture.

Top with half of the cheese, and add the remaining meat mixture, evenly spread the remaining Doritos chips.

Finally, top it all off with the remaining cup of cheese. Spray a piece of foil with a non-stick cooking spray and cover the casserole.

Now, just bake your Dorito casserole for 30 minutes, covered.

Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until chips begin to brown around the edges.

Want to mix it up a bit? I also make Chicken Dorito Casserole. If you wan to go really crazy, try making this casserole with Cool Ranch Doritos.

I haven’t tried it yet, so if you do, be sure to let me know how it tastes!

I hope you love this easy Dorito casserole. Keep scrolling to grab/print my recipe!
