Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Cooking the Meat
- Add ground beef and diced onion to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain the fat.

Assembling the Casserole
- Remove the meat mixture from heat and stir in cream of chicken soup and sour cream.
- Layer 1/3 of the crushed Doritos in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Add half of the meat mixture followed by 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Repeat with another layer of chips, meat, and cheese. Top with remaining chips and cheese.
Baking
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
Serving
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, or other taco toppings as desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, use a spicier salsa or add jalapeños. You can experiment with different cheeses and add more crushed Doritos on top for extra crunch.
