Taco Casserole

Cousin Trudy shared this recipe with me. Her children love this casserole and cleaned it up when she made a double batch. They eat it on a bed of lettuce. They use sour cream and taco sauce with it.

I am thinking I am going to add a can of pinto beans to the burger mix. A can of re-fried beans could be added. I think it could be made without the Doritos, but served with chips instead.
