For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
Feel free to substitute the Colby-Jack cheese with your favorite type of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, a large skillet will work just as well. Just make sure it's oven-safe if you plan to bake the casserole in it.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time to ensure it's heated through.

    This recipe was a lifesaver! I needed something quick and easy for a potluck, and this casserole was a huge hit. Everyone loved it!

    Easy to follow and adaptable. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great. Will definitely make again!

  • Guadalupe Greenholt

    I added a little bit of diced jalapeno to the beef mixture for some extra heat, and it was delicious! Thanks for the great recipe.
