When you’re in the mood for Mexican, these super easy, super cheesy, smothered ground beef and bean burritos are what you’re looking for! Ready to bake in just 20 minutes!
Not only do I love to eat these burritos myself, but I really like this recipe for a pot luck dinner or for taking a meal to a family. Everyone loves them, the recipe will feed a crowd, it travels well, and these burritos can be made ahead of time and baked just before it’s time to serve.
Step by Step Instructions
The Filling
Brown 1 1/2 pounds ground beef with 1/2 a diced, chopped onion, and season to taste with salt and pepper (photo 1).
Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: If you’re not a beef eater or you’re on a budget, cooked rice can be substituted for the ground beef.
Assembling the burritos
Divide 1 can of store bought refried beans into 8 portions. Divide the beef mixture into 8 portions.
Spread 8 medium sized tortillas with a portion of the refried beans (photo 2), then top with a portion of the beef mixture (photo 3). Roll into burritos and place them seam side down in a baking dish (photos 4, 5, and 6).
Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: To fold a burrito, place the filling slightly off center on the tortilla, leaving more than half of the tortilla free. With the filling placed horizontal to you, fold the left and right sides over leaving a space of about an inch between the two sides, bring up the bottom and continue to roll.
The sauce
In a large bowl, mix together 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilis, 1 cup grated cheddar cheese, 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, and 1/4 cup sour cream (photo 7).
Topping the burritos
Spread the sauce over the burritos and top with more grated cheese (photo 8).
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until the sauce is warmed and the cheese is melted!
If you’re in the mood for Mexican, which I always am, you’re definitely going to want to make these smothered beef and bean burritos!
