WONDERFUL QUICK MEXICAN CASSEROLE

Wonderful Quick Mexican Casserole

2 lbs ground meat (I like extra lean)
3/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can Rotel Tomatoes
1 can Ranch Style Beans (I used the beans with the onion and eliminated the chopped onion listed above)
1 lg bag of Doritos, crushed
1 cup grated Cheddar Cheese (I used the shredded Mexican cheese and used more than 1 cup - I just dumped)
*** I added a good hunk of Sour Cream - this is up to your taste, but I love this stuff and think it always adds something to the dish.

Brn meat, add garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper and onion. Add to meat mixture - soup, tomatoes and beans (and sour cream if using). Heat thoroughly.
Layer in a 9"X13" pan the crushed Doritos, meat mixture, cheese - another layer of each. I left the last layer of cheese off until almost the very end.

Cover with foil and place in a 400 degree oven for 35 minutes. I baked for the 30 minutes, then added a good amount of the cheese, left uncovered and baked until the whole casserole was bubbly.
