Frozen Burrito Casserole in a Flash

I tried my hand at a new recipe Frozen Burrito Casserole. This recipe utilizes prepackaged frozen burritos a few canned goods and cheese, making this dish a easy weeknight meal. We just happened to have a package of frozen burritos in the freezer. I like to keep them on hand for a quick lunch or snack. We usually just bake them in the oven and top with salsa and cheese. I saw this recipe online and thought is sounded kind of interesting. What a neat way to use frozen burritos!!! My family thought it turned out really good. I am still going to experiment a bit with the sauce. Wolf brand chili and red sauce is what i use to make cheese enchiladas, but I might try something different next time. Maybe some chili beans and red sauce or just chili beans instead.

I also thought about baking the burritos a bit before adding them to the casserole, just to ensure doneness and to add a little bit of crispness to the burritos. All in all I think it turned out pretty good. I served this dish with homemade Spanish Rice and garnished the casserole with black olives, sour cream and onions on my plate. Use whatever garnish you like.

* If you want you can prebake the burritos in the oven on a baking sheet for just a bit before adding to the casserole. It is really up to you. I think i might do that next time so the burritos are a little more firm and a bit crispy.
