This beef casserole is really hearty enough to serve as a meal in one dish. And with just six ingredients, it is truly a snap to prepare.
This casserole also works well as a freezer meal. Just prepare it in a freezer-safe baking dish or disposable pan, let it cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to re-heat, let the casserole thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then bake at 350 until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Although this recipe calls for prepared salsa for ease, you can certainly use your own homemade tomato salsa if you like.
