  • Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

– You can use pre-cooked ground beef or turkey for this recipe.
– If you don’t have enchilada sauce, you can use salsa or taco sauce.
– For a vegetarian option, use crumbled tofu or black beans instead of ground beef.
– If you don’t have refried beans, you can use mashed pinto beans.
– If you want to make this dish spicier, add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
– For a cheesy version, add a layer of shredded cheese before baking.
