Yummy Burrito Casserole

I was searching for a recipe that was "different" and came across something close to this. It was different for sure, and wonderfully yummy!

8 Simple Ingredients:
1 cup Bisquick
1/4 cup water
1 can refried beans
1# ground beef or ground beef alternative - browned
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup cheddar - shredded
Tomatoes (as desired) - chopped
Onions (as desired) - chopped
((Jalapenos if desired also))

Prepping the Goodies:
Mix the Bisquick, water, & refried beans together thoroughly.

Then, spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of a casserole dish or pie pan that has been coated w/oil or cooking spray.

Next, evenly spread the ground beef (or alternative) on top.

Add the salsa on top of that.

And, finally, the cheese on the very top!

Now, on to the Cooking!:
Bake for 30 minutes @ 375 degrees.

How to Eat:
Top with the tomato & onion (& jalapenos if you want 'em).
Open mouth, insert yumminess! ;)


Luke's response: this is GOOD! When I asked if it were better than our stand-by Mexican casserole (I'll add that one soon), he said YES! My opinion? OMGosh it's amazing! If you added some guacamole and sour cream I'd be in heaven. So, so, so simple, yet so, so, so yummy!

Meat-lover Variation:
Hey, I did a ground beef version for you guys. You couldn't need MORE meat, could you? It would be pretty good w/chicken if you prefer though.
