👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips

When you’re assembling the layers, be sure not to press the layers together. Once baked, the flavors will blend together. However, you don’t want them all mashed up into one! Each separate layer is what adds delicious and irresistible depth to this comforting John Wayne casserole. You can totally add your own twist to this casserole! Top it with a blend of cheeses if desired. Add some red pepper flakes for an extra level of flavor. Not a fan of ground beef? Ground turkey would work great as well.
