One of the joys of casseroles is how adaptable they are. Here are some ideas for personalizing your John Wayne Casserole:
Add extra veggies: Bell peppers, corn, or even black beans can be stirred into the beef mixture.
Spice it up: If you like a little more kick, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne.
Use different cheese: Cheddar is classic, but Monterey Jack or pepper jack adds a nice twist.
Ezoic
Make it lighter: Swap in ground turkey for beef and use light sour cream or Greek yogurt in the topping.
For families who enjoy leftovers, this casserole reheats beautifully. It can also be frozen in portions, making it a convenient meal for days when cooking from scratch feels like too much effort.
