Description

Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos are a deliciously indulgent snack featuring crispy Doritos filled with a creamy mixture of cream cheese, cheddar, green onions, and ranch seasoning, topped with crispy bacon and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning

Topping

  • 6 slices bacon

Base

  • 1 bag Doritos

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stuffed Doritos.
  2. Cook Bacon: Cook 6 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, ensuring maximum flavor and crunch for topping.
  3. Drain Bacon Grease: Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, allowing a less oily snack.
  4. Prepare Bacon Topping: Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces for easy sprinkling over the stuffed chips.
  5. Soften Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, soften 8 ounces of cream cheese using a spoon or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  6. Mix Cheddar Cheese: Add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly to combine flavors.
  7. Add Green Onions: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green onions to add freshness and a mild onion flavor to the mixture.
  8. Season Filling: Incorporate 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning into the cream cheese mixture and blend well for a tangy, herby taste.
  9. Open Doritos Bag: Carefully open the bag of Doritos, being cautious not to tear it extensively for easier handling during stuffing.
  10. Stuff Chips: Use a small spoon or gently squeeze cream cheese mixture into each Dorito, filling them evenly without breaking the chips.
  11. Continue Stuffing: Fill all the Doritos with the cream cheese mixture, making sure each chip is fully loaded.
  12. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed Doritos in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch to allow crisping.
  13. Add Bacon Topping: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the stuffed Doritos for a savory finish.
  14. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges of the Doritos are lightly browned and crisp.
  15. Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the stuffed Doritos cool for a minute or two to set the filling.
  16. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Cream Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Doritos immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Be gentle when stuffing the Doritos to prevent breaking them.
  • Use the ranch seasoning of your choice; homemade or store-bought works equally well.
  • Try substituting cheddar with pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • These stuffed Doritos are best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • For a crispier texture, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
