Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 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). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the ground beef and diced onion to a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water to the skillet with the browned meat. Stir, then simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine the partially thawed hash browns, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, Ro-Tel, and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning in a large bowl. Mix until combined.
  5. Spread half of the hash brown mixture into the greased baking dish, pressing gently to form an even layer.
  6. Spoon half of the taco meat over the hash brown layer. Sprinkle half of the shredded pepper jack and half of the shredded sharp cheddar over the meat.
  7. Repeat the layers with the remaining hash brown mixture, taco meat, and the rest of the cheeses.
  8. Sprinkle the crushed Doritos evenly over the top layer of cheese.
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  10. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Partially thaw hash browns beforehand for easier mixing. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen before baking.
