Ingredients
 

  • Ground beef: 1 lb about 450g
  • Onion: 1 medium chopped
  • Garlic: 2 cloves minced
  • Taco seasoning: 1 packet or 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning
  • Salsa: 1 cup
  • Black beans: 1 can 15 oz, drained and rinsed (optional)
  • Corn: 1 cup frozen, canned, or fresh
  • Sour cream: 1/2 cup
  • Doritos: 1 bag about 9.75 oz, roughly crushed (Nacho Cheese or your favorite flavor)
  • Shredded cheese cheddar, Mexican blend, or Monterey Jack: 2 cups
  • Green onions: for garnish chopped
  • Jalapeños: sliced for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Cook the Beef:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning, salsa, black beans (if using), and corn. Simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before stirring in the sour cream.

Layer the Casserole:

  • Start with a layer of roughly crushed Doritos at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, saving enough for the top layer.
  • Spoon half of the beef mixture over the Doritos, then sprinkle with one cup of shredded cheese.
  • Add another layer of crushed Doritos, followed by the remaining beef mixture.
  • Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Garnish with chopped green onions and sliced jalapeños, if desired.
  • Serve hot, with additional sour cream on the side if you like.
