1. Chop onions, green pepper, tomatoes and green onions. Set aside.
2. Brown the beef and chopped onion.
3. Remove from heat and strain the cooked beef.
4. In large bowl, combine beef/onions with refried beans and taco seasoning.
5. Spray two 9×13 pans with cooking spray.
6. In both pans, add a layer of beef/been mixture, followed by a layer of cheese, a layer of green peppers and top with two soft tortillas.
7. Repeat until all contents are used. Layers can be made super thick or thin depending on your preference.
8. Top the final layer with your remaining cheese, the green onions, and the diced tomatoes.

PREPARE FOR FREEZING

Cover with saran wrap (we like Press and Seal). Press down into the sides of the cooking pan to ensure that no air is trapped under the wrap. This will protect your dish from freezer burn and prolong its freezer life.

Then, cover with foil. Write the name of the dish and baking instructions on the top along with the date.

Freeze.

To Bake

Thaw overnight in the fridge. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Remove saran wrap and re-cover with tin foil.

Cook covered for 45 minutes.

If you don’t have time to thaw, plan to double the cooking time.
