Burrito Casserole (or Burrito Truc)

In French, when you can't think of a name for something you call it a truc (rhymes with nuke). A lot like we do in the U.S. to call something a dohickey or a thing-a-me-bob. This recipe is a really simple one that we just threw together a number of years ago and loved it. It rates on the same level of easiness as making toast or peanut butter and jam sandwich.

Start to finish: 35 - 45 minutes

Ingredients:
1 (10 pack) pkg. frozen burritos
1 ctn. sour cream
1 jar salsa
Cheddar cheese

Directions:
Place burritos in a casserole dish. Spread sour cream over burritos. Pour salsa over sour cream. Grate cheddar cheese and sprinkle over top. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Use as little or as much of the ingredients as you want.

Servings: 5-6

Notes: We make this meal a lot. It is quick and tastes good. The kids love it!

Variations: We use about 1 cup sour cream, 1-2 cups salsa, and 1-2 cups cheddar cheese. Just enough to spread each ingredient over the top.

Estimated Price: $7.00
