Easy Doritos Taco Casserole
This Easy Doritos Taco Casserole if fast, delicious and we really love it. The best thing is you can have it in the oven in less than 20 minutes so it fits the bill when you need something fast. Serve it with lettuce, tomatoes, salsa or sour cream on the side.
Brown the ground beef, onions and green peppers. Drain of any excess grease if there is some.
Next you are going to add the soup, water and taco seasoning. Bring it to a boil. Cook until it starts to thicken. This is what the meat mixture will look like when ready to put over the Doritos. It will soften some of the Doritos but most will stay crunchy.
First layer of Doritos, meat mixture and cheese. Top with remaining ingredients.
This is what it looked like going into the oven.
