Burrito Bake
This burrito bake is an easy burrito bake recipe with layers of crescent roll crust, seasoned beef, refried beans, and cheese, making it a perfect baked burrito casserole for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 to 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- optional toppings: Chopped green pepper, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and sliced ripe olives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook and crumble the ground beef over medium heat until it's no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the refried beans, chopped onion, and taco seasoning, mixing until well combined. Heat through for 2-3 minutes and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared baking dish, ensuring the seams are sealed.
- Spread the beef mixture over the crescent dough, creating an even layer.
- Sprinkle both the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses generously over the top.
- Bake the casserole uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with optional toppings like chopped lettuce, ripe olives, or diced tomatoes for a fresh finish, if desired.
