For a richer flavor, use a blend of ground beef and ground pork. Add a can of drained and rinsed black beans for extra fiber and protein. Spice it up by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. Feel free to substitute the Cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Colby Jack. This dish is also great with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top.
