Tips & Variations
- Cheesy version: sprinkle shredded cheese over the top before serving.
- Vegetable addition: add carrots, peas, or bell peppers for more color and nutrition.
- Casserole twist: transfer mixture to a baking dish, top with mashed potatoes, and bake for a shepherd’s pie style dish.
- Spicy kick: add chili powder or hot sauce.
I can also give a slow-cooker version or a one-pan skillet version with a crispy top if you want.
