Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick and Easy Beef Burrito Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Toss in the ground beef and cook it, stirring often, until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Once it’s cooked, drain any excess grease to keep your dish from being too oily.
Step 5
Next, sprinkle in the taco seasoning and pour in some water, stirring until the beef is thoroughly coated in that flavorful mix.
Step 6
Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to really let those flavors meld together.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add in the enchilada sauce, refried beans, and drained corn.
Step 8
Stir everything together until it’s well combined and looking delicious.
Step 9
In a baking dish, create a comforting base by layering half of the tortilla strips on the bottom.
Step 10
Spread half of your savory beef mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese on top.
Step 11
Repeat this process, adding another layer of tortilla strips, the remaining beef mixture, and finishing with a final layer of cheese.
Step 12
This is where the magic happens! Pop your dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, bubbling with excitement.
Step 13
When it’s ready, take a moment to admire your creation before diving in—this hearty dish is sure to be a hit at your table!.
