For a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture. Feel free to substitute with your favorite cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend. To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro, or diced tomatoes for extra flavor and visual appeal.
