Recipe Notes
Write list…
• Prep ahead! You can assemble this casserole up to 1 day ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake.• You can also assemble the
casserole in advance, wrap it tightly, and keep in the freezer for up to 2 months before baking. Thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight and then
bring to room temperature on the counter for at least 30 minutes before baking according to recipe instructions.• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator
for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.• Substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for the ground beef.• Use Nacho flavored Doritos instead
of the plain corn tortilla chips.• Spread a couple of layers of refried beans in the casserole dish as well.• Any grated cheese will work. I’ve used cheddar
here, but you can use Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack (for some kick!), or a Mexican blend.• For a healthy nacho casserole, use extra lean ground beef, low-fat
cheese and light sour cream.• To serve a larger family, double all of the ingredients and prepare the casserole in a 9 x 13-inch dish. The rest of the
cooking instructions remain the same.
