Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (or any preferred ground meat)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 30 oz bag frozen hash browns, partially thawed
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10 oz) Ro-Tel (diced tomatoes + green chilies)
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 8 oz shredded pepper jack cheese, divided
  • 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • About half a (9.25 oz) bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a baking dish so the casserole does not stick.
  3. Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is browned. Drain excess fat, then return the skillet to the heat.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water to the skillet, stirring until combined. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Combine the partially thawed hash browns, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, Ro-Tel, and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
  6. Spread half of the hash brown mixture in an even layer in the greased baking dish.
  7. Top with half of the taco meat, then sprinkle with half of the shredded pepper jack and half of the shredded sharp cheddar.
  8. Repeat the layers with the remaining hash brown mixture, taco meat, and rest of the shredded cheeses.
  9. Sprinkle the top evenly with the crushed Doritos.
  10. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the Doritos are slightly golden.
  11. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
