This casserole can be made ahead of time. Prepare it up until the point of baking, cover it with foil, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to bake, simply remove it from the fridge and bake as directed. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
Tips
- If you prefer a spicier casserole, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce or jalapeños to the beef mixture.
- For added flavor, try using a mixture of cheeses, such as adding pepper jack or gouda to the mozzarella and cheddar for extra depth.
- If you want a crunchier topping, you can sprinkle some additional shredded cheese or even crushed crackers over the top before baking.
