For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and add an additional can of lentils or your favorite beans. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Monterey Jack or mozzarella would also work well. To add a touch of spice, include a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ground beef mixture.
