Instructions

Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
- If you prefer a creamier casserole, you can add a little more milk or a dollop of sour cream.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese, such as Monterey Jack or a cheese blend.
