Make-Ahead: You can brown the ground beef and chop the vegetables up to 2 days in advance; store separately in the fridge. Variations: Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy version. For extra flavor, stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce with the cooked beef. Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of sour cream, a fried egg on top, or a simple green salad.
