Okay, here’s my blog post about making a Dorito pie, written in a casual, first-person style:
So, the other day I was craving something cheesy, crunchy, and, well, kinda trashy, but in the best way possible. I’d seen this “Dorito Pie” thing floating around the internet and figured, why not? I mean, it’s basically a casserole, but with Doritos. Genius, right?
I started by grabbing a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos – gotta go with the classic, you know? Then I browned some ground beef in a pan. I just threw in some taco seasoning, because that’s what felt right. You could probably use ground turkey or even chicken if you wanted to be, like, slightly healthier, but I wasn’t feeling that ambitious.
Getting Down to Business
Once the beef was cooked, I drained off the extra grease. Nobody wants a soggy pie, am I right? Then I mixed in a can of cream of mushroom soup. This is where it starts getting real interesting. I also tossed in a can of Rotel (tomatoes and green chilies) because I like a little kick. You could use regular diced tomatoes if you’re not into spice.
Now for the layering!
- I crushed up some Doritos and put them in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Then I spread half of the beef mixture on top.
- Next, a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Because cheese is life.
- Repeated the layers: Doritos, beef, cheese.
I ended with a glorious, beautiful,mountain of cheese on top. I baked it in the oven at, like, 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. You just want the cheese to be all melty and bubbly and the whole thing to be heated through.
Honestly, pulling this thing out of the oven was a moment. It smelled amazing – that cheesy, meaty, Dorito-y goodness. I let it cool for a few minutes (because I didn’t want to burn my mouth off), and then I dug in.
And… it was awesome! Seriously. It’s the perfect comfort food. Crunchy, cheesy, a little spicy, and totally satisfying. It’s not fancy, but it’s definitely delicious. Would I make it again? Absolutely. Would I serve it to guests? Maybe, depends on the guests,If they’re cool with a little junk food goodness, then yes! Otherwise, more for me!
