Burrito Casserole

Recipe View Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat a standard casserole dish with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Sauté the Aromatics and Brown the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease. (10-12 minutes)

Recipe View Flavor Infusion: In a large bowl, combine the refried beans with the burrito seasoning. Mix well and then add this mixture to the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir to combine, ensuring the beef is evenly coated. (3-5 minutes)

Recipe View Creamy Dreamy Sauce: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth and creamy. (2-3 minutes)

Recipe View Layering Magic: Begin assembling the casserole. Place a layer of tortilla chips to cover the bottom of the prepared dish. Top with half of the meat mixture, followed by half of the soup mixture, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and half of the salsa. Repeat these layers. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Cheese Crown: Finish by topping the casserole with the remaining shredded cheese. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden brown. (20-30 minutes)

Recipe View Rest and Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the layers to settle slightly. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or pico de gallo.
