Taco Casserole
Taco Casserole
Mention casserole, I like it! And this is really good. I was surprised I found nacho flavored tortillas up in the city, they are excellent as well, and made in Thailand with no preservatives as well. I made this on 2 June 2018, very well liked by the family. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 200 grams Nacho Cheese Doritos, about 1 bag
- 500 grams ground beef, or ground pork, (1 lb)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix, OR make from a shortcut
- 250 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 200 grams Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- lettuce, shredded as needed
- tomatoes, diced, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F).
- Brown beef and onion in a skillet, drain off any fat, add taco seasoning and mix in. Mix together the Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese. Just starting. I used ground pork for this and two small diced onions.
- Layer ingredients in a 9x13 pan as listed; crushed chips (just pour the bag of chips in and crush with your hands, seasoned meat, and 2/3 of cheese. (Now I messed up the cheese part, I added the 2/3 cheese to the meat in the pan, which actually turned out well and I have add that as a variant.)
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, top with the remaining cheeses, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
- Serve.
Notes
Ground beef will cost about 100 Baht, the Cheddar 180 Baht, and the Mozzarella 120 Baht. For 8 servings, this is about $1.47 per serving.
Shortcut: Taco Seasoning.
Variants: 1. Use a 7x11 baking dish instead of a 9x13 dish. 2. Mix the 2/3 cheese with the ground meat just before adding to the dish on top of the crushed chips.

Perfect day in Northeast U.S.A. for casserole. Lee’s was big hit. Fifty degrees and pouring rain all day. Stick to your ribs recipe.
Thank you for the great review, very glad to hear it was a hit, always nice to hear on such a dreary day.
I made this in 2 June 2018, used ground pork instead of beef, and mixed the cheese with the meat before adding to the baking dish, that was an error, but it turned out to be a tasty error. Over, very well liked and on my Go-To list now.
