Recipe Notes

This recipe makes a TON!! ... Like this is perfect for parties because you can split this recipe in half and make two pans of Beef Enchilada Dip.  I usually split the refried beans and enchilada filling in half and freeze the other half and use it for regular enchiladas later in the week 🙂
