For a richer flavor, use a blend of ground beef and ground pork. Add a layer of sautéed mushrooms to the casserole for extra depth of flavor. A sprinkle of paprika over the top of the casserole before baking adds color and a hint of smokiness. Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack, for the Cheddar cheese. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. If you don't have tomato sauce with mushrooms, you can use plain tomato sauce and add 1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms to the beef mixture.
