Instructions
Preheat Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C).
Cook Meat: In a skillet, brown ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and ¼ cup water; simmer 2 minutes.
Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and salsa (or Rotel). Stir into the beef mixture.
Prepare Doritos: Lightly crush half the bag of Doritos and spread them in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer Casserole:
Spread half the beef mixture over Doritos.
Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheese.
Add remaining beef mixture.
Top with the rest of the cheese.
Bake: Place in oven for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish: Sprinkle with remaining crushed Doritos just before serving for maximum crunch.
Serve: Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, or sour cream if desired.
Tips & Variations:
Make it spicy: Use spicy Doritos or add extra jalapeños.
Make it creamy chicken-style: Swap beef for shredded rotisserie chicken.
For a layered lasagna effect, alternate multiple layers of Doritos, beef mixture, and cheese.
