Notes

Serving Suggestions: Serve this like a casserole and don't forget the toppings, such as black olives, avocado, cilantro, fresh tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños. You might also include sour cream, Pico de Gallo, or Easy Homemade Guacamole on the side.

Shop Your Kitchen: This is a very versatile recipe, allowing you to make substitutions for the cheese, meat, and sauce. Use what you have so that you can save money.

To Make a Meal Prep: Divide the casserole into meal prep dishes with your favorite sides, such as rice and beans.

Freeze Extra for Later: Prepare a kit as mentioned above while you're making this meal. You'll get two meals for the effort of one.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: Promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. If you store your leftovers in clear containers, they’re more likely to get eaten.
