I know what you’re thinking…. there is no was this is a healthy meal. You’d be completely correct in thinking that! It’s not totally healthy, but is a beloved recipe! My children eat every bite! It does have black beans, tomatoes, corn, and chicken in it! So there are meat and veggies involved 😉 because it’s not entirely healthy, we only eat this once a month. If you have picky eaters that love Doritos, I encourage you to add Dorito Casserole into your monthly meals!
How Easy Is It To Make Doritos Casserole?
It is ridiculously easy! All you need is some cooked shredded chicken, sour cream, cream of celery soup, cheese, a bag of Doritos, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilis, and taco seasoning! That’s it! All you do crush up the Doritos, and spread half the bag on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish (make sure you spray it first).
In a mixing bowl, combine all other ingredients. Yes, all of them! Make sure the beans and corn are drained first! Then spread them over the Doritos in the baking dish. Next, pour the rest of the Doritos on top, and sprinkle shredded cheese over them. Bake it in the oven at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until it’s bubbling. That’s it!
What makes it even tastier? It feeds 6 people, and it costs roughly $10.64 to make… that’s $1.77 per person! Talk about a winning family recipe!
Can I Make This in the Crockpot Instead?
I have never tried this, but I was thinking about this the other day. You certainly could take all the ingredients and cook them in the crockpot all day (all except the Doritos). Once it’s all cooked, I would pour the mixture over some Doritos that are crushed up in bowls. Sprinkle extra Doritos and cheese on top!
Do I Need Side Dishes?
For this meal, I never make side dishes! However, if you choose to do so, I think side salads would be a great side for this. It’s a great way to add extra vegetables to the meal for sure!
