  • 1 can 10.75 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can Rotel tomatoes undrained
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ package taco seasoning adjust to heat preference

Method
 

  1. Prepare your dish
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix the filling
  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken or ground beef, 1 cup shredded cheese, cream of chicken soup, Rotel, sour cream, milk, and taco seasoning. Stir until well mixed.
Create the layers
  1. Spread half of the crushed Doritos in the bottom of the dish. Layer half of the meat mixture over the chips. Repeat with the remaining chips and meat. If you want extra cheesiness, sprinkle more cheese on top.
Bake
  1. Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 35 minutes. If making a double batch in a larger pan, bake for about 45 minutes.
Cool and serve
  1. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes to help set. Serve warm. Garnish with extras like green onions, cilantro, or sliced jalapeños if you like.
