garlic

refried beans

enchilada sauce

green chiles

(4-ounce) can sliced black olives (drained)

flour tortillas (torn

Arrange rack to center position and preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large skillet set over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, stirring in the minced garlic for the final minute; drain the grease. Mix in the taco seasoning until evenly distributed and then mix in the refried beans and enchilada sauce. Stir in the Rotel, diced green chiles, and black olives until well-combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat.

Spread about a third of the ground beef/refried bean mixture into a thin layer in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with 2 1/2 flour tortillas (10 quarters, slightly overlapping to fit in the dish) followed by about ½ cup of the shredded cheese.

Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the cheese on top (meat, 2 ½ tortillas, ½ cup cheese; meat, 2 ½ tortillas, remaining 1 cup cheese).

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Burrito Casserole

This Burrito Casserole is loaded with layers of flour tortillas, seasoned ground beef, refried beans, sour cream, rice, melted cheese, and your favorite toppings!

beef broth

cornstarch

(4 oz.) can diced green chiles (undrained)

lime juice

hot sauce

honey

EACH: onion powder, garlic salt, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, chili powder

½ lbs. ground beef

salt

pepper

onion

garlic (minced)

chopped cilantro (plus more to garnish)

(6-inch) flour tortillas

(16 oz.) can refried beans

rice (I use white long grain)

Mexican cheese (I use pepper jack & cheddar)

Green Onions (Cilantro, Tomatoes, Avocado)

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Combine the beef broth and cornstarch in small measuring cup with a spout until well-combined. (Use cold or room temperature broth so the cornstarch dissolves smoothly.) Add remaining sauce ingredients and stir to combine. Set aside and measure remaining ingredients before beginning.

Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef and onions. Cook and crumble for 7-10 minutes, or until the beef is brown and cooked through. Drain grease.

Add the combined sauce mixture from step 2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cilantro and cook for 1 more minute. Remove and set aside.

Spread the salsa on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.

Cut each tortilla in half. Arrange 6 slices so that the flat edges line up along the sides of the casserole dish, touching the walls. Place 2 in the middle. (See process shots in blog post for a visual.)

Spread half of the beef filling in an even layer over the tortillas.

Add the refried beans to a small bowl. (Pro Tip: Microwave the beans for 1 minute to make it easier to spread.) Add the sour cream and stir to combine.  Add half of it in dollops over the top, then use a silicone spatula to gently spread it over the beef.

Add half of the rice and  1 cup  of the cheese.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, the rest of the beef mixture, refried bean mixture, rice, and remaining cheese.

Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 15 more minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes prior to slicing and serving.

Garnish with cilantro and desired toppings (see notes for suggestions) and serve with sour cream and tortilla chips to scoop up excess filling!

Just fab, I served with salad and homemade spicy chips

Well, another keeper from The Cozy Cook! I wouldn’t expect anything else, but this one is extra! I made it pretty much as written, I did substitute Chamoy hot sauce for the hot sauce and honey combo because I had it and it’s hot AND sweet. Other than that I made it by the recipe and it was EXCELLENT. Even hubby remarked how good it was. I topped it with tomatoes, green onion, and some sour cream mixed with lime juice that I make up and keep in a squeeze bottle in the fridge because it’s good on a lot of things. 

After making it, I can see this being a go to for fridge clean outs as well! For example the next time I make cilantro lime rice, black beans and rice, or Spanish rice I’m just going to make a double batch and stick in the freezer for using in this! Also if I have leftover street corn, roasted sweet potato, sautéed peppers and onions, etc., all of which I often make and have leftovers of, any of those would be good thrown in this! It’s like a beautiful fresh canvas just waiting for you to make it your own! 

Thank you for ANOTHER excellent recipe!!!!!

Love this! We have been making your burrito bowls for a while now, but I think we love this casserole even more! So fast and easy to put together and the flavor is amazing. It makes awesome leftovers too. Just cut into squares and toss in a container. I ate mine the next day on top of a bowl of shredded lettuce. Loved! Need to make it again soon.

I knew I was going to make the burrito casserole as soon as I saw the recipe!  10 stars out of 5.  At first glance, the recipe looks more complicated than it really is.  It comes together fast.  Let it rest before you cut it into a square serving.  The toppings are endless.  This recipe would be perfect for a Super Bowl party.  I really enjoyed the flavor of the meat mixture.  Also, I am not a huge bean fan, but the refried beans mixed with sour cream is a genius move!  Thanks, Stephanie.  This is a really good one that I will be making again and again.  

I can’t wait to make this 😋 so adaptable- breakfast burrito’s adaptation sounds fabulous!
Great 👍 deal for superbowl!

This is a marvelous recipe for any season, but especially on a cold, snowy day like the one we just had!  Simply delicious--great flavors and textures.  I topped mine with spicy salsa and a bit more hot sauce, to get my brain to release endorphins and dopamine for a "chili high"!  When a recipe like this calls for a layer of refried beans, I warm the beans just a bit to make them easier to spread.  In this case it also helped me to incorporate the sour cream into them.  Although I live alone now, I always make a full-size batch of your recipes so that I can divide the leftovers into individual portions and freeze them for additional meals.  Please keep 'em coming, you're the best!
