# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C and lightly grease a 23×33 cm baking dish.
02 - Brown ground beef with onion and garlic in a large pan over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

04 - In a separate bowl, blend condensed cream of mushroom soup with sour cream until smooth.
05 - Layer half of the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the cream mixture, 100 g cheese, and half of the crushed Doritos.
06 - Repeat layering with the remaining meat mixture, cream mixture, remaining Doritos, and finish with the remaining cheese.
07 - Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.
08 - Allow casserole to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Top with optional garnishes as desired.
