Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity
Ground Beef 1 pound
Medium Onion, Diced 1
Medium Bell Pepper, Diced (any color) 1
Garlic Cloves, Minced 2
Diced Tomatoes (canned) 1 (14.5 oz) can
Shredded Cheddar Cheese 1 cup
Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese ½ cup
Doritos (any flavor) 1 (16 oz) package, crushed
Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup 1 (10.5 oz) can
Milk ½ cup
Salt and Pepper To taste
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:

Get your oven started by preheating it to 350°F (175°C).
Sauté the Veggies and Brown the Beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Be sure to crumble the beef as it cooks for even distribution.

Once the beef is browned, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook them together with the ground beef until the vegetables are softened. This should take about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the garlic’s fragrance to release.

Incorporate the Creamy Tomato Base:

Add the diced tomatoes (including their juices) to the skillet with the cooked ground beef and vegetables.
Cheesy Goodness:

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese to the mixture in the skillet.
Crunchy Dorito Topping:

In a separate bowl, crush the Doritos chips. You can use a food processor for a finer crush or a plastic bag and rolling pin for a chunkier texture.

Add the crushed Doritos to the skillet, mixing it well with the other ingredients.

The Creamy Binding Agent:

In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk to create a smooth mixture.

Pour the creamy soup mixture over the ingredients in the skillet and stir everything well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bake and Enjoy!

Pour the entire Dorito casserole mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the mixture is hot and bubbly throughout.

Serve and Devour:

Take the Dorito Casserole out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy this Tex-Mex inspired dish hot and savor the delicious combination of seasoned ground beef, colorful vegetables, creamy cheese, and of course, the irresistible crunch of Doritos!
