Cheesy Chicken Dorito Casserole

I'm not going to sugar coat it lovelies- this is nothing more that fabulously unhealthy delish trash food. The kind that offers calories, fat, and cheese- otherwise known as the kind of food we all need after a horrible, no-good, very bad, cold day.

I found this recipe on Pinterest, and stuck it in the back of my mind for one of those days when I just didn't give a hoo about what I ate. Well, Thursday when I woke up to a cold and rainy day where I got caught half way between my car and the door at work (a trek and a half my loves, no lie, like a 3 minute walk) in a downpour with no umbrella I decided it was a good day to try something new.

This recipe came from the blog Jam Hands- which is chocked full of fancy dishes that make me drool.  I adapted it a little to suit my taste,  

Mexican Dorito Casserole
Serves 4-6

2 c. shredded cooked chicken (I poached it in chicken stock with garlic-mmm)
1 c. shredded cheese (I used more, about 1 1/2 cups, it was one of THOSE days)

1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes (canned tomatoes with jalepenos- I used the original for a bit of heat, but you could do mild)
1/2 packet taco seasoning (or more- to taste)
Bag of  Nacho Cheese Doritos

1. Pre-heat oven to 350-f degrees.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except Doritos.

3. In a greased 2 qt baking dish, put a layer of crushed Doritos (about 2 cups), then a layer of the chicken mixture. Repeat once more, ending with a layer of chicken mixture. Top with more shredded cheese, cover, and bake for 30-35 minutes, till bubbling hot.

The chips stay crunchy, and some get soft- its a perfect combination. For leftovers, just add some fresh crushed chips to get that crunch and its sheer perfection. I took this for lunch on Friday and ended up sharing with everyone in the teachers lounge :)

The hubs is also obsessed, and insists it tastes just like the nachos you get at stadiums. I don't know if I agree with that, but it sure is tasty!
