Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, measure and prepare all your ingredients in advance. This will streamline the cooking process and make it even quicker to get your casserole on the table.
- Brown the Beef Well: Make sure to thoroughly brown the ground beef for maximum flavor. Breaking it into small crumbles will ensure even cooking and a better texture.
- Don’t Skip the Quick Release: After cooking, perform a quick release of the pressure to prevent overcooking the ingredients. This will help maintain the perfect texture of the beans and corn.
- Layering is Key: When adding the Doritos and cheese, layer them evenly across the top to ensure every bite is packed with flavor and crunch.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Add jalapeños for a spicy kick, or top with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or extra salsa for added flavor and freshness.
- Serve Immediately: This casserole is best enjoyed fresh from the pressure cooker while the cheese is melty and the Doritos are crunchy.
