Okay, here’s my attempt at writing a blog post in the style you requested, about making a burrito casserole with frozen burritos:
Alright, folks, so the other day I was staring into my freezer, wondering what I could whip up without, you know, actually cooking cooking. I spotted a pack of frozen burritos – the cheap kind, nothing fancy – and thought, “Hmm, could I make something…more…out of these?” Turns out, you totally can! It’s a lazy dish, and no, it is not authentic. It is what my family jokingly calls, “white people Mexican food.”
The Experiment Begins
First, I grabbed a baking dish. Like, a regular 9×13 inch glass one. Nothing special. I didn’t even grease it, because I’m all about cutting corners when I’m feeling lazy. Then, I unwrapped those frozen burritos. I think I used six of them? Just enough to fill the bottom of the dish in a single layer. They were packed in there pretty tight.
Layering It Up
Next, I opened a can of enchilada sauce. Again, the cheap stuff. I’m not trying to win any culinary awards here. I poured that sauce all over the burritos, making sure they were nice and coated. Gotta have that saucy goodness!
Then came the cheese. I used a bag of pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese because, let’s be real, who has time to shred cheese? I sprinkled that cheese generously over the sauce-covered burritos. The more cheese, the better, right?
- Frozen burritos (however many fit in your dish)
- Canned enchilada sauce (I used a large can, about 19 ounces, I guess?)
- Shredded cheese (a whole bag, because why not?)
- (Optional) Diced onions, jalapenos, whatever you like!
Into the Oven
I covered the dish with foil – gotta keep that moisture in – and stuck it in a preheated oven. I think I set it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit? I’m not great with exact temperatures, I just go by feel. I baked it for about 30 minutes, then I took off the foil and baked it for another 10-15 minutes, just to get the cheese all bubbly and brown.
The Final Result
And that’s it! I pulled it out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes (important, because molten cheese is a weapon), and then dug in. It was surprisingly good! Like, way better than just microwaving a frozen burrito. The sauce soaked into the burritos, the cheese was all melty and gooey, and it was just a big, comforting mess of deliciousness.
It is great for a simple dinner with the family, especially the kiddos! We love to top it with some sour cream and salsa for extra flavor.
So, yeah, if you’re looking for a super easy, super cheap, and surprisingly tasty meal, give this frozen burrito casserole a try. You might just be surprised!
