Beefy Bean Bake

Classic Mexican flavor makes this layered beef and cheese casserole a flavorful dish that only needs a salad to make a complete meal.

If you have cooked ground beef and onions in the freezer, use these and skip the first step. If your freezer stock is depleted, this would be a good time to restock.

Since this filling dish is flavorful and almost a complete meal, I suggest adding simple vegetables or just a salad. Our Tex-Mex Cole Slaw would be a good choice, or some raw veggies with ranch dressing for dipping. For a combo side and dessert, try Honey Nut Peaches as an easy side.
