  • 1 Tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Beef Burrito Bake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and veggies.
  • Add the seasonings and refried beans and heat through.
  • In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese and yogurt; spread half the mixture on the bottom of a 13 X 9 baking dish.
  • Cut tortillas in half. Add a layer of tortillas (about 3), allowing them to slightly overlap.
  • Spread 1/2 the ground beef mixture on the tortillas, and top with 1 cup cheese. Add remaining cream cheese mixture to the top of the cheese. Top with remaining tortillas. Add remaining beef mixture and finally add the remaining cheese.
  • Bake 20 minutes until cheese is nicely melted and fillings are hot.

To Freeze

  • Assemble casserole as directed and freeze before baking.
  • To cook after freezing, thaw completely and bake at 350 for 20-30 min or until hot and melty.
