Notes

Serve the casserole warm, straight from the oven. It pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables. You can also serve it with a dollop of sour cream or hot sauce for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, warm it in the microwave or oven. For variations, consider using other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach, or substitute ground beef with cooked shredded chicken.
