I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my casserole turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used ground turkey instead of beef and added some black beans.
