Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large bag (9 oz) Doritos, crushed
- 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Crumble the Doritos and set aside. Dice onions and prepare ground beef for browning.
- Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Add diced onions and cook until translucent. Stir in taco seasoning and cook for another minute. Mix in cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk until well combined to form a cheesy sauce.
- Layer half of the crushed Doritos in a baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the chips. Top with remaining Doritos and sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Remove from oven, garnish with optional toppings if desired, and let sit for a few minutes before serving.

- Crush Doritos slightly more for even distribution.
