This casserole is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the cheese and beef, and they don't even notice the sneaky vegetables.

I used ground turkey instead of beef in this casserole and it was still delicious. It's a great way to make a healthier version of this dish.

I'm not a big fan of beef, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The cheese and salsa flavors really balance out the beef.
