Kitchen Equipment Needed:

Large skillet
Mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
9×13-inch baking dish
Spatula or spoon
Aluminum foil

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 can (10 oz) Rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 bag (9.25 oz) Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed
Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, sour cream

Directions:

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Season the beef: Add the taco seasoning to the cooked beef according to the package instructions. Stir in the cream of chicken soup, Rotel tomatoes, and sour cream until well combined.
Assemble the casserole: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a layer of the crushed Doritos (about half of the bag). Pour the beef mixture over the Doritos, then top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Add another layer of crushed Doritos on top and finish with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Garnish with optional toppings like chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
