Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for the topping. Gruyere or Parmesan would also be delicious.
If you have leftover cooked vegetables, such as peas, carrots, or corn, you can add them to the meat mixture for extra nutrition and flavor.

If the cheese is browning too quickly, you can tent the dish with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
