Feel free to substitute ground turkey, chicken, or even lentils for the ground beef. Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a blend of your favorites. Add a layer of sautéed onions and bell peppers for extra flavor and texture. For a richer flavor, try using homemade mashed potatoes instead of instant. If you don't have green beans, mixed vegetables or corn will work great too.
