Doritos are sinful...

I was so delighted NOT to have to cook a single thing yesterday as it was my 43rd birthday- Dave handled breakfast (French toast, eggs, and bacon), Jan's in Fallston took care of our lunch time snack, and Barley's did dinner for two as ONLY Barley's can! But alas, that was yesterday and now it's back to my normal role of  'cookslave' to the Dave--- and that means, making dinner.  However, I do LOVE to cook so I woke up this morning with one question on my mind- what do I do for dinner?

I searched the Pinterest boards and came across the one recipe that would make the Dave think he'd died and gone to heaven- Doritos Chicken Casserole.  And then I said NOOOOOO!  I cannot do this... I cannot make a casserole with Doritos!  I went to the pantry and decided to do something similiar but without the Doritos.  (BTW, Doritos are currently on sale buy one/ get one at Food Lion- Dave did not purchase yesterday, but reminded me of this fact IF I had to go to the store.)

And then I made my mistake.  I mentioned to Dave what we were going to have and while he didn't turn up his nose, he did not seem excited. I think he really wanted those B1G1free Doritos somehow someway.... And then I said "I found a Doritos casserole on Pinterest" and boy, did those eyes light up!  So there is was and here it is...

Doritos Chicken Casserole

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced green peppers
1 cup shredded cheese (or more if you are a cheese hound)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes - I would use hotter next time... just to give it some more kick!
2 tablespoons taco seasoning (or more- to taste)
Bag of Doritos- I used good ole Nacho cheese.

1.  Mix all the ingredients- except the Doritos- together.
2.  Spray cooking spray on bottom of casserole.  Layer Doritos on the bottom, then top with chicken mixture, repeat and end with chicken mixture- it makes two layers. Top with cheese
3.  Bake for 30 minutes at 350.

OMGOODNESS.. this was Good!! I was amazed at how well the chips held up in the casserole.  I did add a bit of crushed chips on the top after plating it.... it looks like a bunch of 'goo' but oh my.... it's  awesome! 

Safe to say this is definitely Dave tested and Dave approved!  It's kind of nice being the Dave's wife.... :)
