  6. Pour the beef and cheese mixture evenly over the chips.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately top with the remaining crushed Doritos.
  10. Bake for an additional 5 minutes to warm the top layer of chips. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving this easy family dinner.

Notes

  • For extra flavor in your dorito bake, add a can of drained, sliced black olives to the meat mixture.
  • If you do not have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute it with cream of celery soup.
  • This recipe is great for meal prepping; assemble it ahead of time and keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
