Notes
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. You can prep it a day ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake. Consider replacing ground beef with lentils or mushrooms for a vegetarian option. Feel free to add mushrooms or zucchini for more veggies.
