This is one of my partner’s favorite meals for a weeknight!

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture. You can also substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in a half cup of sour cream or cream cheese into the beef mixture before baking. For a vegetarian version, replace the beef with a mix of mushrooms and zucchini, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
