We love to cook! It’s one thing my mom over at http://www.Kittyskozykitchen.com taught me as a child. Food=love. Most all the kids enjoy food and cooking….I said most because there is ONE and I wont name any names but that one child could care less about food, cooking, or learning how to cook. The other 6 enjoy it.
It’s hard to find recipes that all 9 of us like but I have found some that we couldn’t live without. One dinner that they enjoy is Dorito Bake and guacamole.
Most of the ingredients for this recipe are stables you will have in your pantry:
Dorito Bake
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 can black beans
1 10-12 oz bag of Doritos
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes
2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 package of taco seasoning
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup water
Sour cream for serving
Preheat over to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, brown meat, drain off fat. Stir in beans, tomatoes, taco mix, cream of chicken soup mix, water and simmer. Once all that is combined and heated stir in 1 cup of cheese.
Grease a 9×13 casserole dish. Put down 1 layer of Doritos, followed by meat mixture, sprinkle cheese on meat mixture, and repeat until all the meat mixture is gone. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with Sour cream if desired.
There is nothing better than homemade guacamole. You can change this recipe to make it to your tasting but this is what we like.The best part about this recipe is all the kids love helping with the chopping and mixing.
