Beef, Beans - Creamy Burrito Casserole by Food.com

Last week I was on a mission to try a bunch of new easy recipes. I was happy with all of the meals I made except for one (stuffed chicken, which turned out awful). 

I actually made the Creamy Burrito Casserole recipe two times last week, Saturday and Monday. This meal was fast, easy, and very tasty. It was kind of like a burrito all mixed together already.

Here are the ingredients and directions from the link:

Ingredients

    • 1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey
    • 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
    • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packages taco seasoning
    • 6 large flour tortillas
    • 1 (16 ounce) cans refried beans
    • 2 -3 cups shredded taco cheese or 2 -3 cups cheddar cheese
    • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
    • 4 ounces sour cream
    • jarred hot sauce, if desired to spice it up

Directions

  1. Brown ground meat/turkey and onion; drain.
  2. Add taco seasoning and stir in refried beans.
  3. Mix soup and sour cream in a separate bowl.
  4. Spread 1/2 sour cream mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish.
  5. Tear up 3 tortillas and spread over sour cream mixture.
  6. Put 1/2 the meat bean mixture over that.
  7. Add a layer of cheese.
  8. You could put some hot sauce on this now.
  9. Repeat the layers.
  10. Sprinkle cheese over the top and bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 20-30 minutes.
The recipe says that it takes about 50 minutes total, which I guess it does but it didn't seem that long to me. 

The only thing that I would do differently next time I make this is to cut up some lettuce, have fresh salsa, and sour cream added to the top. You can see that it was included in the picture at the top, but I didn't think to pick that up from the store, so I didn't have it. Other than that, I highly recommend this dish to anyone who enjoys burritos. 

P.S., this meal also makes tasty leftovers. Just saying in case you do have them, which you probably won't.
