Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans (optional, for layering)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (9.75 ounce) bag Nacho Cheese Doritos, lightly crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper into the skillet with the meat mixture. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Spread half of the meat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. If using, spread the refried beans over the meat layer.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the meat or bean layer.
  6. Top with the remaining meat mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top layer.
  8. Scatter the lightly crushed Doritos evenly over the cheese layer.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the best crunch, crush the Doritos just before layering them on top of the casserole. Do not crush them too finely.
  • You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or cooked shredded chicken for a variation.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a can of drained diced green chilies to the meat mixture.
