Creamy burrito Casserole

Creamy burrito Casserole

2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 pkgs. taco seasoning mix
1 Cup water
burrito sized flour tortillas (12 to 18)
2 cans refried beans (16 oz)
1 pound cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cans cream of chicken soup (10.75 oz)
16oz sour cream
Optional garnishes:
Chopped green onions, sour cream, shopped tomatoes, olives, salsa, guacamole.

Cook ground beef and onions until done; drain.
Add taco seasoning and water. Add refried beans, and mix well.
Mix soup with sourcream in a separate bowl. Spray casserole dishes with cooking spray. Spread enough of the sour cream mixture to cover the bottom of a casserole dish.
Put meat/bean mixture into tortillas, top with a little cheese (note; you need to save some cheese for the top).
Wrap like a burrito, and place seam side down in casserole dish. Put the remaining sour cream mixture on top of the burritos. Sprinkle cheese over top and bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. Ater cooking, garnish with optional toppings as desired.

Note: If you would like to freeze this dish, it is recommended that you freeze before baking

this casserole is delicious and freezes well! The recipe usually mkes enough for a 13x9 casserole and a 8x8.

With just the three of us eating, this makes 4 meals for us. One for dinner, two for the freezer, and the last one gets sent to boyfriends house for brownie points, lol
