Serves 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 5 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 10-ounce can enchilada sauce
- 1 15-ounce can refried beans
- 1 4-ounce can green chiles
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Salt and pepper
- Sour cream
- Tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat broiler to high.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, half of the green onions, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until well browned. Add the enchilada sauce, green chiles, and season again with salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer 4-5 minutes.
- While beef mixture is simmering, spoon the refried beans into two oven-safe ramekins or mini iron skillets, or you can do this in one oven safe dish. Place the beans under the broiler and allow to heat for 2-3 minutes, until warmed.
- Remove beef mixture from the heat and stir in half of the cheese.
- Spoon this mixture over the heated refried beans, and top with remaining cheese. Place back under the broiler, to allow the cheese to become bubbly and melted. Top with a dollop of sour cream and the remaining green onions. Enjoy.
