nonstick cooking spray
1 tube crescent dough

1 bag mild cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • First get your oven preheated to 350°F (180°C).

Then you'll add about ¾ of the bag of smashed Doritos on top of that, spreading it out evenly. Now add the meat and spread it evenly. Add the whole container of sour cream and spread it evenly. Then add your 1 bag of cheddar cheese and right after the bag of mozzarella cheese (use the whole bag). Then top it off with the remaining Doritos (or enough to generously cover the top.
