BURRITO CASSEROLE
I got this recipe from my daughter. It is easy to assemble and tastes great. Mild, so it appeals to younger palates and those of us who don't like "hot spicy" - just full of flavor! Don't let the ingredients list intimidate you. It's much easier than it appears. Note: Sauce ingredients are marked with (s) (you can use 4 cups canned Enchilada Sauce instead of making your own.) Topping ingredients are marked with a (t)

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine sauce mix, water, tomato paste, garlic, pepper & salt. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a skillet, brown the beef and drain. Stir in 1/3 of sauce.
- Spread 1/3 of sauce in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Place 3 tortillas over sauce, tearing to fit the bottom of pan. Spoon half of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese.
- Add 3 more tortillas. Spread refried beans over tortillas, then top with remaining meat. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese.
- Layer remaining tortillas, then top with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
- While it is baking, prepare topping ingredients into small containers and arrange on a serving tray.
- Serve casserole with topping tray so guests can choose whatever toppings they desire. (Can also be served plain without toppings and it's still very good).

[email protected]This casserole was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good base recipe. I added some extra chili powder, cumin, and garlic to the ground beef mixture, and it was much better.
