Can I use store-brand chips instead of Doritos?

Absolutely! Generic nacho cheese chips work in a pinch, but I'll be honest - the real deal gives that signature flavor we all love. If you do use store-brand, maybe add an extra sprinkle of taco seasoning to amp up the taste.

How can I make this casserole spicier?

Oh, I've got you covered! Swap in hot taco seasoning, use Pepper Jack cheese, or add a diced jalapeño to the beef mixture. My personal favorite trick? A few shakes of chipotle powder stirred into the cheese soup - gives it that smoky heat without overwhelming the kids

Can I freeze leftovers?

You can, but fair warning - the chips lose their crunch. If you must freeze it, leave off the top chip layer and add fresh Doritos when reheating. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bake at 350°F until heated through (about 20 minutes).

What if I don't have cheddar cheese soup?

In emergencies, mix 1 cup shredded cheddar with 1/4 cup milk and 1 tbsp flour - it won't be exactly the same, but it'll do the job! Better yet, keep a couple cans in your pantry just for this recipe (trust me, you'll make it again).
