Recipe of the Week!

Creamy Burrito Casserole
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
6 large flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2-3 cups shredded taco cheese or cheddar cheese
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
4 ounces sour cream

jarred hot sauce, if desired to spice it up

Brown ground meat/turkey and onion; drain. Add taco seasoning and stir in refried beans. Mix soup and sour cream in a separate bowl. Spread 1/2 sour cream mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish. Tear up 3 tortillas and spread over sour cream mixture. Put 1/2 the meat bean mixture over that. Add a layer of cheese. You could put some hot sauce on this now. Repeat the layers. Sprinkle cheese over the top and bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 20-30 minutes.

my notes: this came out really good and satisfied my desire for something "mexican" last night (had no lettuce or tomatoes for tacos!)- i used cream of chicken instead of the cream of mushroom, and i just served the hot sauce on the side at the end. all and all a very good, very easy dish
