Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. (50 minutes)
08 Step

10 mins
Let the casserole cool slightly for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the egg mixture to set further and makes it easier to serve. (10 minutes)
For a spicier kick, use hot green chiles or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ground beef mixture.
Feel free to substitute other cheeses like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend.
If you don't have canned green chiles, you can roast your own poblano peppers for a more authentic flavor.
This casserole is great served with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or a side of rice and beans.
