Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 Red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Taco seasoning
  • ½ cup Beef broth
  • 10 ounces Diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1 large bag Doritos, crushed
  • 3 cups Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook it until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
  • Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and beef broth, mixing well to combine and letting it simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and the black beans. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well blended.
  • In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the crushed Doritos as the bottom layer.
  • Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the Doritos.
  • Spread the sour cream over the beef layer and sprinkle 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  • Add another layer of the remaining crushed Doritos followed by the remaining 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Keep it juicy by reserving a bit of moisture from the beef.
  • Don’t overbake; aim for bubbly edges with a golden top.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Use fresh ingredients for more flavor.
  • Spread the layers evenly for better balance.
