Burrito Casserole

Preheat over to 350

Sautee onions and green bell peppers in a touch of butter.
When the onions and peppers are tender, add two pounds of ground beef and brown. Drain the meat.
Salt as desired. Add 1 taco seasoning package.

While meat is cooking, layer a large cake pan with flour tortilla shells. Spread refried beans over the shells.Add 1/2 can of Rotel (green chilis and tomatoes), spread over beans.
Cover with shredded cheese (I use 1 package). Spread meat, onion, pepper mixture over the cheese. Add the other 1/2 can of Rotel over the meat mixture. Cover with shredded cheese (that makes 2 packages for me, lol, but you can use less or more as desired). OPTIONAL: Add
black olives to the top of the casserole before cooking the final layer of cheese.

Place in oven for about five-ten minutes, or until cheese melts to desired consistency.

Serve with sour cream if desired.
