Mexican Casserole

Posted by Alana on

This is my mom’s Mexican Casserole recipe. It has nacho cheese Doritos in it, so naturally I adored it when I was a kid. Actually, I still adore it now! It is cheesy, crispy, meaty goodness. You can dress it up with sides, but honestly it’s good enough to eat plain.

  • 20 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 bag nacho cheese flavor Doritos
MEAT sauce
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 8 oz taco sauce
  • 8 oz enchilada sauce
  • 8 oz chopped green chilies
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Brown the beef and onion until the beef is cooked through. Pour off the excess liquid.

You can serve the Mexican Casserole with pico de gallo (go here for my Guessipe) and avocado slices. It’s also great with a side of rice.
