Notes

    • You can use canned or homemade sauce for this recipe! I like making my own sauce when I have the time, as it allows me to adjust the seasonings just the way I like them.
    • Feel free to add anything else to the casserole you wish! I like adding in garlic, onions, and green peppers.
    • If you brown the meat in an oven-safe pot, feel free to skip transferring it to a baking dish: bake it right in the pot for even less cleanup.
    • If making your own sauce, don't add the seasonings to the meat before cooking it. You'll be draining the meat, and this can mean losing out on the seasonings you added in!
    • You can make this with pure cheddar, but I highly recommend Velveeta. It adds a distinctive creaminess that regular cheddar doesn't!
    • Nutrition is calculated for homemade sauce.
