Notes
For a veggie boost, add diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or corn.
Spice it up with cayenne pepper or jalapeños.
Swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or cheese blends.
Use crescent roll dough or homemade biscuits as a topping alternative.
Make it vegetarian by using plant-based crumbles or lentils instead of beef.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or microwave.
Freeze unbaked casserole up to 2 months; thaw overnight before baking.
