Brown Bag Burritos in the Crock Pot

We are having Brown Bag Burritos for dinner tonight. I have tripled the recipe and will go ahead and make the burritos and freeze them to have for lunches through out the rest of the year--not everyday of course; however, they are that good!

•2 lbs. ground beef
•2 cans refried beans (could make your own--but I buy mine!)
•1 1/3 c. enchilada sauce (red)
•1/2 c. water
•1/3 c. minced onion (I use dried)
•1 Tbsp. chili powder
•1 Tbsp. garlic powder
•1 tsp. salt
•1 tsp. dried oregano
•3 c. shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, whatever kind you would like)
•20 flour tortillas (burrito-size)

Brown Hamburger meat, drain and rinse off any excess grease. Put in crock pot.

Put everything else in the crock pot, except for cheese and tortillas. Cook on
low for 4-5 hours (or on high for 2 hrs.)

Add cheese 30 minutes before eating, stir together really good.

*Next is the fun part, line the burritoes up and watch the kids run to the table.

*Enjoy!
Since I tripled the recipe, I am hoping to freeze around 40-45 of these (hoping too!)
To Freeze:
I wrap them in a paper towel, then a piece of foil, when we are ready to eat them, take foil off and heat in the paper towel for 40 seconds in the microwave :)
