Description
A cheesy, taco‑style casserole layered with ground beef, Doritos, corn, tomatoes, and sour cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely crushed Doritos
- 1 cup loosely crushed Doritos
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 12 ounces frozen corn
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 (14.5‑ounce) can petite diced tomatoes with green chiles, not drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups Mexican cheese blend
- Optional garnish: sliced green onions, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, avocado, sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
- Spray a 9×13‑inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.
- Crush the Doritos: 2 cups finely (like crumbs) and 1 cup more coarsely (for topping).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until the meat is browned; drain excess grease.
- Add the minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Add the frozen corn, taco seasoning, diced tomatoes (with chiles, un‑drained), and the 2 cups of finely crushed Doritos. Stir to combine.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and 2 cups of the cheese.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and bake 5 minutes to warm through.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top, then the 1 cup of loosely crushed Doritos, and bake another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and serve, garnished as desired.
Notes
- This works well as a freezer meal—prepare ahead but wait to add the top Doritos and cheese until just before baking.
- Use a Ziploc bag and rolling pin (or hands) to crush the chips.
- You can cook the beef and onions ahead, refrigerate (up to 3 days) or freeze (up to 1 month).
