How to Make Layered Mexicasserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (undrained) and taco seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the tortilla strips, then half of the refried beans, then half of the beef mixture.
- Top with half of the shredded cheese.
- Repeat layers with remaining tortillas, beans, beef mixture, and cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. The cheese should be melted and golden brown.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with sour cream, salsa, lettuce, and tomatoes, if desired.
