Sure, you love Doritos\u2014who doesn’t? But when you combine those seasoned, crispy chips with ground beef, beans and cheese, you get so much more than just a beloved bagged snack. It’s an entire meal. Consider this Doritos casserole recipe as a cousin to nachos: You start with a layer of the flavor-packed chips, top them with a savory meat mixture made with black beans, tomatoes, chiles and sour cream, sprinkle on some shredded cheese, then repeat the layers. Bake the Doritos casserole until the cheese is melty and bubbly, and serve it with your favorite toppings like creamy avocado, sliced jalapenos and more sour cream.<\/p>\n
This family-friendly casserole recipe<\/a> comes together in less than 45 minutes and will please even the pickiest eaters in your family. It’ll become a staple for weeknight dinners<\/a> and game days<\/a>, and is perfect for any time you need to whip up a crowd-pleasing meal.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, red pepper and onion over medium heat until the beef is browned, seven to eight minutes.<\/p>\n Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans and diced tomatoes. Let everything simmer until they’ve thickened, one to two minutes.<\/p>\n Remove the skillet from the heat and add sour cream until it’s well combined with the other ingredients.<\/p>\n In a greased 13×9-inch baking dish, layer half of the Doritos, half of the meat mixture and 1-1\/2 cups of cheddar. Repeat the layers.<\/p>\n Bake until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. If desired, top servings of the casserole with avocado, salsa, jalapenos and additional sour cream.<\/p>\n To store your taco casserole with Doritos, be sure to first cool it to room temperature, then cover the dish tightly with foil or storage wrap and before putting it in the refrigerator. You can also transfer smaller portions to airtight containers.<\/p>\n When properly stored in the refrigerator, Doritos casserole will keep for up to four days. The layers may get soggy, though, so it’s best consumed as soon as possible. If stored in the freezer, it can last for up to three months.<\/p>\n Yes! To freeze Doritos casserole, make it as directed, but don’t bake it. To prevent freezer burn, wrap the dish tightly in storage wrap and then foil. When you’re ready to bake and eat it, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight.<\/p>\n To reheat individual portions of the Doritos casserole, microwave them for two to three minutes. To reheat the entire casserole, preheat your oven to 350\u00b0 and bake it for 15 to 20 minutes or until it’s heated through.<\/p>\n Make this Doritos casserole recipe with a light Mexican side dish<\/a> (or two). To build a feast, cook up some cilantro-lime rice<\/a>, pico de Gallo<\/a> or a Mexican street corn bake<\/a>. And if you want to go all out, fry up some churros<\/a> or sopaipillas<\/a> for a sweet finale.<\/p>\n Not a fan of Doritos? No problem! Any tortilla chip<\/a> will work in the recipe.<\/p>\n Try making a batch of Doritos chicken tenders<\/a>. You can also use them in place of tortilla chips in taco salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Make this Doritos casserole recipe with a hearty ground beef mixture layered with chips and cheddar cheese.
