Taco seasoned ground beef flavored with salsa and sour cream creates a creaming filling for this Ground Beef Doritos Casserole. Layered with cheeses and crunchy Doritos baked until bubbly and delicious! Top it off with your favorite taco toppings to create a family favorite meal!
I don’t know about you but we are crazy for all things taco at my house! This one has become such a family favorite over the years. It’s cheesy, taco flavored, and built with those crazy crunchy and oh so fabulous Doritos chips! Who can resist them?? Not anyone in my house! We love them and may have an addiction!
Casseroles are always a favorite especially for this busy mom. When my kids were younger we were always on the go. So getting a tasty dinner on the table during the week (especially one for picky kids) was a challenge. However, if it had Doritos in it they came running!
Life looks a bit different now as they are in college, but it still can be quite hectic at times and my college aged son still lives at home. He still loves the classics I made for him growing up. And this one is still a win!
Casseroles are also typically are hearty, belly filling, quick, easy, and scrumptious. Anything and everything that gets dinner on the table and the family gathered around it is the way to go!

Wondering if I cook up the meat and add everything but the chips could I freeze the meat mixture to use later
I have not tried that. But it should work!
Can I make this the day before serving, or will the Doritos get soggy?
I have not ever made this ahead, but I have eaten the next day as leftovers and it was good. I like it best freshly baked personally, but it did hold up pretty well as leftovers.
What size can of soup?
10.5 ounce can
What brand of salsa verde should I use? Trying this tonight!
I love Herdez brand, but any you like will work just fine. You could also use a red salsa if you prefer it.
Great recipe, I added black and pinto beans,Kraft Mexican blend cheese with a touch of Philly and used avocado,sour cream and black olives as topping.my kids came back for seconds!!
All those sound like yummy additions. We add a cup of sour cream in the mix a lot. It makes it so good. If they come back for seconds it a success!
Delicious. That looks so mouth watering! Looks very tasty. And I want to make these asap. That’s all I can say about this recipe.
That looks like a dinner we would all love too. My guys love doritos and tacos are one of our favorites too!
Carlee, my guys love it too! If it involved taco it is a win at my house too! 🙂
This looks so delicious! I wish I had a plate right now.
Thank you! It’s such a tasty dish! I mean Doritos – so good! 😉
