Dorito Casserole is one of those meals that always grabs my attention.  I love that I can make it in the slow cooker and walk away until it’s ready.  It’s so great to serve to family AND friends and is sure to please everyone who tries it.

If you think your family will like this recipe, you should also try my Slow Cooker Mexican Casserole OR my Slow Cooker Hamburger Casserole.

Mmm, mmm.  This slow cooker Dorito casserole is always a hit when we bring it to group gatherings.  It’s super simple to throw together and one that everyone in your family can love.  It’s also a great option for taking to a new mom who just had a baby, or someone who is having trouble cooking due to illness.

WHAT TOPPINGS WOULD BE GOOD ON SLOW COOKER DORITO CASSEROLE?

It kind of depends on what your family likes, but I’d treat it like a Mexican food dish and put things on it like:

  • black olives
  • sour cream
  • salsa
  • jalapenos
  • cilantro leaves
  • guacamole

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH SLOW COOKER DORITO CASSEROLE?

Since Dorito casserole is almost a complete meal, I’d do something light with it.  Maybe one of these:

  • vegetable, like green beans, broccoli or carrots
  • refried beans
  • a salad
  • guacamole salad
  • spanish rice
  • chips and salsa

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
