This Creamy Burrito Casserole delivers all the bold, comforting flavors of a classic burrito without the hassle of rolling. Layered with seasoned ground beef, a rich and creamy bean filling, soft tortillas, and plenty of melted cheese, it bakes into a hearty, satisfying dish that feels familiar and indulgent.
The seasoned beef provides a savory backbone, enhanced by onions and green chiles for extra depth. Paired with a creamy blend of refried beans, sour cream, and cream cheese, every layer turns rich and flavorful as it bakes together in the oven.
What makes this casserole especially appealing is its simplicity. Everything is layered right in the baking dish, making it perfect for busy weeknights, potlucks, or family dinners when you want something filling and crowd-pleasing with minimal effort.

As it bakes, the tortillas soften and soak up flavor, the filling becomes creamy and cohesive, and the cheese melts into a golden, bubbly topping. A short rest before slicing allows the layers to set beautifully.
If you love Tex-Mex comfort food that feeds a crowd and reheats well, this burrito casserole is a reliable go-to you will come back to again and again.
