Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
½ teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef
¾ cup water
1 package taco seasoning mix (such as Ortega®)
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
6 scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Chop avocado flesh and mash in a bowl. Add tomatoes, onion, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate guacamole until ready to serve.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add water and taco seasoning; stir until combined. Simmer until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread refried beans into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Top with black beans. Spread ground beef mixture on top of beans. Drizzle tomato sauce over the whole mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle Mexican cheese blend on top. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 1 minute more.
  • Top each serving with guacamole, sour cream, and scallions.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always have some leftover steak or roast beef in the fridge, and this is a perfect way to use it up.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the beef with tofu. The casserole still turned out great!

The casserole was a bit dry. I think I needed to add more liquid.

The casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of chili powder. Overall, it was a good recipe.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the beef was fall-apart tender. I will definitely be making this again.
