A hearty and flavorful Mexican-inspired casserole made with ground beef, refried beans, and melted cheese, perfect for a family dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 pack taco seasoning
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 pack large flour tortillas
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is no longer pink; drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and refried beans, and heat through.
  4. In a separate bowl, blend cream of mushroom soup with sour cream until smooth.
  5. Spread half of the soup mixture in the bottom of a baking dish.
  6. Place a layer of tortillas over the soup mixture, tearing them to fit the dish.
  7. Layer half of the beef mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle with about 1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese.
  8. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter alternative to beef.
  • For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or use a spicy taco seasoning mix.
  • Serve with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
