Burrito Casserole
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 (28 ounce) can mild enchilada sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 8 tortillas, cut into 2-inch strips
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, heat a large skillet over the medium-high heat setting. Cook and stir the beef in the hot skillet until it reaches a browned and crumbly state, which typically takes 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and discard any excess grease that accumulates.
3
Add taco seasoning to the remaining contents of the skillet, along with a sufficient amount of water. Continue cooking and stirring until the meat is evenly coated with the seasoning, approximately 5 minutes more.
4
Mix in enchilada sauce, refried beans, and corn to create a harmonious blend of flavors. Combine these ingredients thoroughly.
5
Begin by placing a layer of tortilla strips at the bottom of your chosen baking dish. Add a subsequent layer of the meat mixture, followed by another layer of tortilla strips and Mexican cheese. Continue alternating these layers as necessary to achieve the desired presentation.
6
Finish with a final layer of Mexican cheese on top. Then, bake the dish in your preheated oven until the cheese is melted and golden brown, taking between 8 to 10 minutes to achieve this result.
