This burrito casserole with ground beef was a hit!

I struggled with what to call this….it reminds me of a seven layer dip with a few different ingredients….but it’s also what I would put inside a burrito.  So burrito casserole was the winner!  You can easily change the ingredients to cater to what your family likes!  It is also a meal that you can put together the night before and then just throw in the oven for 20 minutes!

Ingredients:

Again, this recipe is easy to remix, but this time I used:

1 can refried beans

1 container large container of sour cream

1 lb. ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning (the seasoning is optional!)

2 cups of the cheese of your choice- I used a Mexican blend

1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes

Fritos or Tortilla chips

Possible additions:  Corn, black olives, black beans, jalepenos

Possible garnishes: Lettuce, Fritos, Guacamole, Pico, Salsa, green onions, Cilantro

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Season your ground beef with taco seasoning (optional), brown and drain

Layer the ingredients in a large casserole dish in this order: re-fried beans, sour cream, ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, fritos

This collage shows the step by step layers.

Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.

Spoon into bowls, garnish and serve!

We added chopped lettuce…I felt like it needed something green…and more fritos at the end for some extra crunch!

This burrito casserole was a hit at our house, and I hope you love it too!
