Ingredients
For the Taco Meat
- 1.5 lbs Ground Beef or any ground meat that you prefer
- 1 Yellow Onion, Diced
- 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning
- 3/4 Cup Water
For the Casserole
- 30 oz Bag of Frozen Hash Browns, partially thawed
- 10.5 oz Can of Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 10 oz Can of Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies)
- 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning
- 8 oz Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese divided in half
- 8 oz Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese divided in half
- 9.25 oz Bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos (or any flavor you like) I use about half of it
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced onion. Once cooked, drain the excess grease. Add the taco seasoning and water, mixing well, and let it simmer on low heat.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the partially thawed hash browns, cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, Rotel, additional taco seasoning, 1/2 of the pepper jack cheese, 1/2 of the sharp cheddar cheese, and the cooked taco meat. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes.
- Remove it from the oven and top with the other half of the cheeses and the crushed Doritos. Bake for about 5 more minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
- Once done, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Set out optional toppings like shredded lettuce, sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and hot sauce for everyone to customize their serving.
