Doritos Cheesy Beef Casserole

Need something quick for dinner? This is it and I bet the kids will love it. I am sure the recipe will work equally as well with corn chips as Doritos in case that is what you have.

Yesterday my friend and I went on long ride (550 miles) to look at a vintage camper. When we were looking for a place to have a late lunch we ran across a restaurant called “It Doesn’t Matter”. I have to admit we were curious why someone would name a restaurant that. Our server happily told us the story. When the restaurant was opened the owners couldn’t figure out a name for it until they started thinking about how many times you ask someone what they want for dinner and they tell you it doesn’t matter. How many times have you heard this when you can’t figure out what is for dinner? So they named the restaurant “It Doesn’t Matter”. We both had really yummy hamburgers and left wishing we had this restaurant where we live.
