Notes

  • Refrigerate leftover casserole in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a quick reheat, microwave individual portions until warmed through, or cover and bake in a low oven until heated.
  • Serve this hearty casserole with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added freshness.
  • For extra flavor, brown the ground beef with a pinch of cumin and smoked paprika alongside the chili powder.
