Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for ground beef that is fresh and has a good fat content (at least 20%).
- Season the ground beef well. This is another important step for adding flavor to your dish. Use a variety of spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the ground beef thoroughly. This is essential for food safety. Cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink in the center.
- Use a good quality cheese. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent it from becoming mushy in the casserole.
- Layer the ingredients carefully. This will help to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly. Start with a layer of pasta, then a layer of ground beef, a layer of cheese, and so on.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
