  4. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serving
  1. Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Enjoy it hot!

Notes

Feel free to swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. Add crispy fried onions on top for extra crunch or fresh parsley for brightness. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For freezing, seal in freezer-safe containers after cooling down.
