7 LAYER CASSEROLE

Delicious!!-makes great leftovers. I am a very picky eater and I remember my stepmom serving this to us and we were hesitant to eat it--but once we tried, we all couldn't get enough! I always DOUBLE the recipe and add extra onions. Can use leftovers for stuffed peppers. My fav is use banana peppers instead and top with cheese.

Tips:

  • Prep Vegetables in Advance: To save time, consider chopping and dicing the vegetables beforehand and storing them in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Choose Your Beef Wisely: Opt for a leaner cut of ground beef, such as 90% lean or higher, to reduce the amount of fat in the casserole.
  • Simmer the Sauce: Take the time to simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
  • Layer Carefully: When assembling the casserole, layer the ingredients evenly to ensure that each bite is packed with flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcook: Once the casserole is assembled, bake it until the cheese is melted and bubbly, but be careful not to overcook it, as this can dry out the casserole.
