For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a diced onion and a clove of garlic to the ground beef while cooking. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Colby, for a unique twist. If you prefer a saucier casserole, add an extra half can of tomato sauce. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
