Notes
For extra flavor and texture, brown the ground beef until it gets a nice caramelized crust. This extra step adds tons of depth and flavor to the meat and takes your casserole to the next level.
Use a hot taco seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick if you want to make the casserole spicy.
For that perfect Mexican flavor, top the casserole with your favorite toppings like sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or even a dollop of sour cream.
