FAQs

Can I make this casserole ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole a day in advance and refrigerate it before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?

Absolutely. Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for a leaner option, though the cooking time and seasoning may need slight adjustments for best results.
