Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 ½ pounds ground beef
• 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
• 1 (14 ounce) can refried beans
• 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles, drained

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until thoroughly browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain excess fat. Mix in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and green chilies; return to medium heat, and simmer for about 10 more minutes.

Step 3

Spread 2 tortillas with refried beans; stack the two tortillas into the bottom of an 8x10-inch baking dish. Top with about 1/4 of the meat mixture, and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of Cheddar cheese, or as desired. Spread 2 more tortillas with refried beans, lay them over the cheese, and continue layering the casserole as before with meat mixture, cheese, and tortillas spread with beans. End with 1 tablespoon of cheese, or more to taste.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and the cheese has melted and begun to brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
