𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 lb ground beef 🥩
1 packet taco seasoning 🌮
1 can (16 oz) refried beans 🫘
1 cup salsa 🍅
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend 🧀
2 cups tortilla chips, crushed 🌮
1/2 cup sour cream 🥄
Fresh cilantro for garnish 🌿

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef 🥩 until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning 🌮 and stir until the beef is fully coated and flavorful. This step ensures a savory base for your casserole! 🥩😊

2. Layer the casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 🔥. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a layer of refried beans 🫘 on the bottom. Next, add the cooked ground beef mixture 🥩 and spread evenly. Follow with a layer of salsa 🍅, then a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese 🧀. Finally, top with crushed tortilla chips 🌮 for added crunch. 🌮🧀

3. Bake the casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes ⏲️, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortilla chips are golden and crispy. The casserole should be heated through and ready to enjoy! 🍽️🔥

4. Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream 🥄 and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro 🌿 for a burst of flavor and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy this hearty, cheesy dish with friends and family! 🍽️😊
