144.6…Creamy Burrito Casserole

It's no secret that I love casseroles. They are usually some sort of comfort food and I love that everything cooks up in one dish. Any other dishes used to make it get washed while the casserole is in the oven. Then, after dinner, clean up is a snap!

It is also no secret that we are a Mexican food loving family. This recipe for Creamy Burrito Casserole satisfies everybody!
