Creamy Burrito Casserole

Easy mexican themed dish that can be as hot as you'd prefer with addition of hot sauce or hot refried beans rather than original ones.

I've prepared this in a square dish or round one and served like a pie.  Some changes I made to this were to use low sodium taco seasoning and use a mixture of light mozza and cheddar cheese.  I've ripped up the tortillas and layered them that way for a better fit in a square baking dish.  I've only ever used 3-4 tortillas rather than 6 it calls for.

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
6 large flour tortillas
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2-3 cups shredded taco cheese or cheddar cheese  
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
4 ounces sour cream
jarred hot sauce, if desired to spice it up

Brown ground meat/turkey and onion; drain.
Add taco seasoning and stir in refried beans.
Mix soup and sour cream in a separate bowl.
Spread 1/2 sour cream mixture in the bottom of a casserole dish.
Tear up 3 tortillas and spread over sour cream mixture.
Put 1/2 the meat bean mixture over that.
Add a layer of cheese.
You could put some hot sauce on this now.
Repeat the layers.
Sprinkle cheese over the top and bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 20-30 minutes.
