— -- If you like the spicy, cheesy taste of Doritos, you might want to try this simple dish that is a favorite in Charlie Gibson's home.

The Gibsons received this recipe from Mary Corkran, a friend of the family, 20 years ago. It has been a Gibson family favorite ever since.

Gibson first shared this sensational recipe with Good Morning America fans during the 2002 "Family Cook-Off" series. The recipe proved to be so popular that he brought it back just in time for Super Bowl Sunday.

Casserole Ingredients

1 large 13-ounce package Doritos (save 2 cups for casserole topping)
2 tbsp. onion, grated
1 10-ounce can chili with beans
10- to 15-ounce enchilada sauce
8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 and 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Topping Ingredients

2 cups Doritos
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/4 cups sour cream
