ranch style bean and dorito skillet dinner
Mom always made this as we were growing up. It never had a name - we just called it the "hamburger with beans and doritos stuff." I've tried to refrain from posting too many casserole type dishes, but my self-control has abandoned me and it's casserole time, people! So, here ya go: I am not afraid to say it - I love casseroles!!!!!!!!!

How To Make ranch style bean and dorito skillet dinner
-
Step 1In large skillet, brown and drain ground beef. Return the beef to skillet, and add ranch style beans (do not drain the gravy from the beans - just open the can and pour them into the skillet). Let cook over low-medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until beans are warmed through, for about 10 minutes. -
Step 2OPTIONAL STEP: Add cooked rice at the same time as beans and stir to disperse throughout.
-
Step 3Add about 2-3 handfuls of Doritos. No need to crush them - just add a handful, stir; add another handful, stir. Once Doritos are well combined throughout, cover and let simmer until Doritos are soft, for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 4Turn heat to low. Top with shredded cheese and cover. Once cheese melts, remove from heat and serve.
-
Step 5If desired, make sour cream, salsa or left over uncooked Doritos available for people to dress up their plates however they prefer.
