Walking Taco Casserole

3. Ingredients

To whip up your own Walking Taco Casserole, you’ll need:

• Ground beef: Lean ground beef works best for this recipe.
• Taco seasoning: You can use store-bought taco seasoning or make your own blend at home.
• Doritos: Opt for the classic Nacho Cheese flavor for an authentic taste.
• Shredded cheese: Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese works well.
• Taco toppings: Get creative with toppings like diced tomatoes, sliced olives, diced onions, shredded lettuce, sour cream, and salsa.

4. Preparation

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, in a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, then add the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for a few minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated.

5. Layering Your Casserole

Next, it’s time to assemble your casserole. In a greased baking dish, spread a layer of crushed Doritos on the bottom. Top with a layer of the seasoned ground beef, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up all your ingredients, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.

6. Baking and Serving

Pop your casserole into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Once it’s done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with your favorite taco toppings, and dig in!
