Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1 red pepper diced
- 1 oz package taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water or beef broth
- 14.5 oz can tomatoes and green chiles drained
- 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 9 oz bag Cool Ranch Doritos
- 3 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- sour cream and salsa for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain grease.
- Add diced red pepper and onion to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in taco seasoning and water or broth. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5–6 minutes until thickened.
- Add drained tomatoes and green chiles, black beans, and sour cream. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
- Slightly crush about 1 cup of Doritos and spread them in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer half the beef mixture over the Doritos, then top with another layer of crushed chips and half the cheese.
- Add the remaining beef mixture, top with more crushed Doritos and the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown on top.
- Serve hot, topped with sour cream, salsa, hot sauce, or chopped green onions, if desired.
Notes
Try substituting regular nacho cheese Doritos for a more classic flavor, or use spicy varieties for extra kick. This casserole also reheats well the next day.
