Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or shredded chicken
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 bag (9.25 ounces) Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips (Doritos)
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat. If using shredded chicken, skip this step.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, Rotel, chili powder, cumin, and milk. Stir until smooth.
  5. Stir in the cooked meat (beef or chicken) and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese into the soup mixture. Mix well.
  6. Spread half of the Doritos into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour the meat and cheese mixture evenly over the chips.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top of the mixture.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Remove the casserole from the oven. Crush the remaining Doritos and sprinkle them over the top layer of cheese.
  11. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the topping is crisp.
  12. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a chicken version, use 2 cups of pre-cooked, shredded chicken breast instead of browning ground beef.
  • You can assemble this casserole completely, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the initial bake time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
  • Use spicy Rotel for extra heat.
