Notes
- Tips:
- Storage:Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven if you wish to crisp the onions again before serving.
- Don’t cook the noodles all the way. Leave them slightly undercooked as they will cook more as they bake.
- Drain the ground beef well after cooking it so the casserole isn't greasy.
