Tips:

  • Use a cast iron skillet or a large ovenproof skillet to cook the ground beef and vegetables. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the meat and vegetables.
  • Be sure to drain the ground beef well before adding it to the skillet. This will help to prevent the casserole from becoming greasy.
