Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound hamburger (ground beef)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 16 oz refried beans 1 can
  • 10 oz enchilada sauce 1 can
  • 5 oz Rotel tomatoes with chiles about half of a 10-oz can
  • 6 green onions chopped, divided
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese shredded (about 1 1/2 cups or more to taste)
  • guacamole for serving
  • sour cream for serving

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula; drain excess grease.
  • Add the Rotel (about half the can), half of the chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder to the cooked beef; stir and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the enchilada sauce, stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer 2–3 minutes; remove from heat.
  • Heat the refried beans in a saucepan or microwave until warm and spreadable.
  • Layer the warm refried beans in an oven-safe serving dish, top with the beef and sauce mixture, then sprinkle shredded cheddar evenly over the top.
  • Place the dish under a broiler briefly just until the cheese melts and bubbles—watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Remove from the oven, dollop or spread sour cream and guacamole on top, and sprinkle the remaining chopped green onions before serving.
  • If you want a larger batch, double all ingredients and use a bigger dish.
