Holly’s Casserole Tips
- To crush Doritos, place them in a bag and crush them by hand, but not too small.
- Drain the fat from the ground meat so that the casserole is not overcooked.
- Purchase pre-shoned cheese to make assembly easier.
- Spray the tin foil with cooking oil so it doesn’t stick to the top layer of cheese.
- Remember to remove the sheet for the last 20 minutes. This will help the top layer of the casserole brown and bubbly.
