Notes
- Add up to 2 cups of a favorite veggie peas and carrots or green beans.
- Swap the ground beef with ground chicken or ground turkey or even ground sausage or chiorzo. You could also use a mixture of meats.
- Use cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom.
- Add a few cloves of minced garlic.
- Top it with some french fried onions or panko breadcrumbs.
- I prefer sharp cheddar cheese. But feel free to use any favorite shredded cheese you'd like.
- Be sure to grate the cheese off a block for the best creamiest melted cheese.
- Store cooled leftovers an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- You can also bake this in the oven at 350° F in a 9x13 inch casserole dish for about 30-35 minutes with the cheese on top.
