Intro

Cool Ranch Taco Bake is a casserole that is simple and fun to make for people.  If my nephew lived closer this is one of the things I would make for him.  You need 6 items for Cool Ranch Taco Bake and that is it.  Very simple and it has great taste.  Look we all love Dorito’s, so give it a try.  Don’t like Cool Ranch then replace it with another Dorito or just plain Tortilla Chips.  Want to punch up the heat add some Jalapenos or you can add in some vegetables like frozen corn!  Play around with this one and make this recipe your own!
