Delectable Dorito casserole is a star-studded favorite that combines zesty beef filling, creamy cheese, and America’s favorite chip for a 30-minute meal.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F. Spray a 9X13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the beef (1 pound) and onion (1) until no longer pink. Remove excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning (2 packages), diced tomatoes (1 can), diced chilies (1 can), sour cream (1 cup), and cream of mushroom soup (1 can), and heat through.
Place one-third of the crushed Doritos in the bottom of the baking dish then add half of the beef mixture. Top with one-third of the crushed Doritos, then the remaining beef mixture. Add the last third of the remaining Doritos and sprinkle the top evenly with cheese.
Bake, uncovered in preheated oven until heated through and cheese is bubbly about 20 minutes.

Notes
Type Of Meat: I generally use 80/20 ground beef. 90/10 will also work. This is also wonderfully made with ground turkey.
Type Cheese: I've used a combo of shredded Monterey jack cheese and cheddar cheese. If you have a preference for one over the other, both of them work equally deliciously. Both are creamy and melt well in the casserole.
If you want the casserole, opt for pepper jack cheese. I generally don't use Cotija cheese, because it's a dry, non-creamy type of cheese. It also tends to be a fairly salty cheese, which, combined with the Doritos, can make the dish overly salty.
