Recipe: Beef and Bean Burrito Casserole

This recipe for beef and bean burrito casserole is not only easy but kid friendly. This tasty dish takes about 15 minutes to prep and bakes in 20 to 30 minutes. It makes 4 servings.

I used a pretty deep dish pie plate to bake it in… you can use any oven baking dish you wish.

I served it with a salad made of shredded lettuce with a dollop of sour cream and a dollop of guacamole and chopped tomatoes on top.

I hope you enjoy it!
