Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 bag (9 ounces) Doritos, crushed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the undrained Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies and the condensed cream of chicken soup. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
Pour the meat mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the crushed Doritos evenly over the top of the casserole.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Notes
For a chicken version, substitute 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken for the ground beef.
You can assemble this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
For an extra layer of flavor, add a packet of taco seasoning to the ground beef while it cooks.
