Ground Beef Casserole Recipe
I’m not always the best when it comes to meal planning, but I always have a pound of ground beef in the freezer.
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.

Can you freeze the meat/beans/corn/soup/sour cream mixture?
This sounds tasty.I was thinking it might be good using chicken tenders ,cut in chunks..hmmmm.I’ll have to try both !
So good!! Made this tonight with a slight modification. I put only half a can of corn and half a can of black beans but added cooked rice and I felt like it was a nice addition! Thank you for this recipe! Will definitely make this again.
