Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a spring form, round cake pan, or casserole dish with cooking spray. This will prevent the casserole from sticking to the dish.

Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef along with the diced onion. Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat.

Step 3: Add Taco Seasoning

Now, add the taco seasoning mix to the cooked beef according to the package directions. This will infuse the beef with delicious Mexican flavors.

Step 4: Start Layering

It’s time to create the layers of your Mexican Tortilla Casserole. Follow these steps:

1. Place one tortilla in the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
2. Spread one-third of the refried beans over the tortilla.
3. Add one-third of the seasoned ground beef on top of the beans.
4. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over the meat.

Step 5: Continue Layering
