When you're craving Mexican food, but a burrito seems like too much work, pour it all into a casserole and you're good to go.

Ingredients

* 1 lb. ground beef
* 1 sm. onion, diced
* salt
* pepper
* garlic salt
* 1 pkg. dry taco mix
* 1 small can tomato sauce
* 2 16 oz. jars salsa
* 3 C. taco cheese, shredded
* 2 cans refried beans
* 6 large flour tortillas
* black olives, sliced

Directions

Brown ground beef and onion seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic salt; add taco mix. Add tomato sauce and simmer while assembling casserole. Spread 1 jar of salsa to cover bottom of 9 x 13-inch pan. Layer 2 large tortillas on top of this, cutting pieces off sides to fill in corners, if necessary. Spread meat mixture on tortillas and sprinkle with 1 C. of the cheese. Cover with 2 more tortillas. Spread with warmed refried beans and sprinkle with 1 C. cheese. Cover with 2 more tortillas. Pour remaining jar of salsa over this. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Garnish with olives. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Let set 10 minutes before serving.
