Make this simple, cheesy Tex-Mex casserole with ground beef or chicken, Rotel tomatoes, and a creamy sauce, topped with crunchy Doritos for a quick family dinner or game day meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or shredded chicken
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 bag (9.25 ounces) Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips (Doritos), crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. If using ground beef, cook the beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess fat. If using shredded chicken, skip this step.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef or chicken, cream of chicken soup, Rotel tomatoes, sour cream, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  4. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese into the meat mixture.
  5. Spread half of the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Layer half of the crushed Doritos over the first layer of the meat mixture.
  7. Spread the remaining meat mixture over the Doritos layer.
  8. Top with the remaining crushed Doritos.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top layer of chips.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • For a chicken version, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for faster assembly.
  • You can assemble this casserole up to 24 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • Use any flavor of Doritos you prefer, such as Cool Ranch, for a different taste profile.
