Mexican White Trash Casserole

Components:

1. One bag of crushed Nacho Doritos
2. Two cups of ground beef or shredded chicken
3. Two cups of shredded cheese (you can add more if you want to).
4. One can of cream of chicken soup (10.75 oz)
5. One can of undrained Rotel tomatoes
6. Half a cup of sour cream
7. Half a cup of milk
8. Half a package of taco seasoning (taste-test)

Getting ready:

• Get your baking dish ready: Set the oven’s temperature to 175°C (350°F). To make cleanup easier, lightly put nonstick spray on a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, Rotel tomatoes, sour cream, milk, taco seasoning, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and shredded chicken or ground beef. Stir until well combined.
• To begin layering, cover the bottom of the casserole dish with half of the crumbled Doritos. Evenly distribute half of the beef mixture over the chips using a spoon. With the leftover Doritos and meat mixture, repeat the layering process.
• Add Cheese: To achieve a melty, golden crust, top with additional shredded cheese if you’d like.
• To bake the casserole, wrap it in aluminum foil and bake it for thirty-five minutes. Increase the baking time to approximately 45 minutes if you are making two batches in a larger pan.
• After taking the casserole out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving it warm.

Notes: Protein Options: Ground beef or shredded chicken work well in this recipe, but for variation, you may use ground turkey, pulled pork, or even a vegetarian protein like black beans.

Have fun!
