Burrito Casserole

This Burrito Casserole is everything we love about a loaded Beef Burrito, but in casserole form! It’s easy to enjoy every delicious layer with no rolling involved! It starts with a light layer of salsa topped with flour tortillas, followed by seasoned ground beef with green chiles. It’s then topped with a creamy layer of refried beans and sour cream, followed by rice and cheese! Each layer is then repeated again before adding your favorite toppings like avocado, tomatoes, red and green onions, and more!

Better yet, it’s easy on the wallet, makes enough to feed 8 hungry people, and is a wonderful make-ahead recipe and freezer food!
