𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 lb ground beef 🥩
1 packet taco seasoning 🌮
1/2 cup water 💧
1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies 🍅
1 (10 oz) can cream of chicken soup 🥣
1 cup sour cream 🥄
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
4 cups Doritos, crushed (any flavor) 🍲
1/2 cup diced tomatoes 🍅
1/4 cup chopped cilantro 🌿

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

𝟭. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Crush 4 cups of Doritos 🍲 and set aside. Dice your tomatoes 🍅 and chop the cilantro 🌿 for garnish. These steps will make assembly quicker later on.

2. Cook the ground beef:
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef 🥩 over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat. Add the packet of taco seasoning 🌮 and 1/2 cup of water 💧 to the beef. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors combine. This will give the beef a bold, taco-inspired flavor.

3. Make the creamy filling:
In a large bowl, mix together the Rotel tomatoes 🍅, cream of chicken soup 🥣, and sour cream 🥄 until smooth and well combined. This mixture will create the creamy layer in the casserole. Stir the seasoned ground beef 🥩 into the mixture to evenly distribute the flavors.

4. Layer the casserole:
Begin assembling your casserole by spreading a layer of the crushed Doritos 🍲 on the bottom of the greased dish. Next, pour half of the beef and cream mixture on top of the Doritos, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese 🧀 over the beef mixture. Add another layer of crushed Doritos on top of the cheese, then repeat with the remaining beef mixture, spreading it evenly. Top everything with the last cup of shredded cheese 🧀 to create a cheesy, golden crust.

5. Bake the casserole:
Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown. The Doritos will add a crunchy texture to the cheesy, creamy layers.

6. Garnish and serve:
Once the casserole is out of the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish the top with diced tomatoes 🍅 and chopped cilantro 🌿 for a fresh, colorful finish. Serve the Dorito Casserole with a side of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for an extra burst of flavor.
