Notes
Serve this dish hot right from the oven. It pairs well with a simple green salad or some steamed vegetables on the side for a balanced meal. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or oven. You can add extra veggies like peas or corn to make it even heartier. Make sure to drain the beef well to avoid extra grease in the dish. Use a combination of cheese for more flavor, like mozzarella mixed with cheddar.
