Notes
- If you want a less eggy casserole, reduce eggs and add more beef. Mushrooms, onions, and pickles are great add-ins!
- Leftovers can be frozen for up to 6 months. It keeps in the refrigerator for at least 5 days.
- If you’d like to cut the recipe in half, an 8×8-inch baking dish instead. Or, you can double the recipe and use a 10×15 pan, and have deeper slices.
- Add some jalapeños and pepper jack with some diced tomatoes for a Southwest casserole.
