Notes
- Placing a cold baking dish straight into a hot oven can cause the glass to crack. Allow the baking dish to come to room temperature before putting it in the oven.
- Include cream cheese or sour cream to add a creamy richness and elevate the flavor profile.
- Use grass-fed beef instead of lean ground beef to increase the healthy fat content of this casserole.
- To make it spicier, add more jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture before baking.
- Tomato sauce or diced tomatoes can be substituted for crushed tomatoes.
- Ground beef mixture can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to three days before preparing the casserole.
