This was as good as I expected it to be given all the wonderful reviews. I did make some substitutions even though I usually like to make a recipe as written the first time. I used one of Campbell's new Mexican style cream soups in place of the cream of mushroom (I think it was the pepper jack variety I used) and I added a can of Rotel tomatoes to the meat/bean mixture. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. I didn't add hot sauce because the soup and tomatoes provided enough for our tastes. Thanks for a very easy recipe that I'll definitely make again!

This casserole is great! It was easy to put together and used ingredients we had in the house. All four of us had second helpings, with leftovers for lunch. I did use low-fat versions of the refried beans, shredded cheese, soup, and sour cream to cut down on the fat, and next time I make it I will probably add a green pepper (chopped). Thanks for this recipe. It is definitely a keeper.

Absolutely delicious. This is how I prepared this recipe: I greased a 9X13 baking dish with Crisco. I used 1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef instead of 1 lb. Since this is a layered recipe (you will be making two layers), the extra 1/2 lb. worked great. I added a can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies (undrained) into the cooked beef mixture and I used cream of chicken instead of mushroom. I made my own taco seasoning (recipe 25449 from this site is terrific). I always double the taco seasoning recipe even for just 1 lb. of ground beef but you can experiment and decide what is best for your family. I am convinced that when it comes to packaged taco seasonings, your recipe will only be as good as the brand of seasonings you choose because some of them are so strong (not heat) that the flavor is overpowering and that can be all you taste. This includes those layered taco dips too. I followed the recipe exactly regarding the remaining ingredients. I thought the ground beef mixture with the onions, seasoning and refried beans was too thick so I added some water to the skillet and stirred it around till it was the right consistency. Give this recipe a try, it is delicious. I served this with spanish rice, warm tortilla chips, sour cream etc... Enjoy!!

If you like Tex-Mex you must make this wonderful dish. The flavor is out of this world! Sprayed a 8 x 11 ½ x 2 inch casserole. All of this fits perfect in this size dish. Fills it to the top, and looks so pretty when done. I also mixed (1) can Rotel tomatoes, drained, in the ground round. Taco Seasoning Mix taco seasoning is great! Used total of (4) large tortillas, the Burrito size. We like Old ElPaso vegetarian refried beans. For the cheese, Mexican Style 4 cheeses. Chicken cream of soup, Healthy Request. Thanks for the post!

This was awesome! I made just a few changes to use up ingredients that I had on hand. I used cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup. I also substituted Monterey Jack cheese for Cheddar cheese. I added a drained can of Ro-Tel tomatoes (as others suggested) to the meat mixture and pickled serrano peppers to the top! I am definitely adding this recipe to my regulars! Thanks!

Everyone liked it, even my two year old. I added a layer of sliced olives witch gave it a little more flavor.

Mmmm, I LOVE this casserole. It is so easy to throw together and so tasty. I usually use a little extra sour cream to make it a bit creamier. Last time I made this I froze one casserole and we just ate it the other night. I just had to cook it a bit longer but it still turned out great. Thanks!

I made this recipe exactly as described. I was pleasantly surprised how much it really tastes like burritos. My husband loved it and said it is a "keeper". I always seem to have a couple of flour tortillas left after making burritos...now I can collect them in the freezer and save up for this recipe. Thanks for a great new dish.

Very good casserole. Tasted just like burritos but much easier to make I did add a tad bit of water to the meat mixture so it wasn't so thick. Thanks!!

I used leftover pot roast that I shredded and simmered with the taco sauce, water and rotel, then I added the refried beans. I then layered using cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom with the sour cream. I layered it all in a crockpot. Topped with the cheese adn cooked for 1 hour on high, and 3 hours on low. Came out perfectly! Thanks so much. I usually make a similar chicken tortilla dish, but this was a nice way to use the leftover beef!!!
