    Step two: Then preheat your oven to 375 degrees and prepare a 13x9 baking dish and set aside.

    Step three: Next cook and crumble your ground beef. Once cooked drain the fat and then it set aside.

    Baking Directions:

    Step six: Bake for 18-20 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is warm throughout.

    Step seven: Remove from oven and serve with sour cream and cilantro.

    Serve it later:

    If you are not eating the entire casserole right away you can refigerate or freeze it for later.

    • Fridge: Cover casserole dish with foil or place leftover in a an air-tight containter. Keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
    • Freezer: To freeze bake or place casserole in an freezer safe casserole dish. Once cooked allow to cool then cover and place in the freezer.

    When you are ready to reheat just bake at 325 degrees until warm thoughout and bubbly.
