Tips:
- For a richer flavor, brown the beef before adding it to the casserole dish.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your bake, such as carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
- Add some herbs and spices to your bake for extra flavor, such as garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme.
- Use a good quality pasta sauce for your bake. You can either make your own or use a store-bought sauce.
- Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Top your bake with a layer of cheese before baking it. This will help to brown the cheese and give the bake a crispy crust.
- Let your bake cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the casserole to set.
