Onion – Whenever you cook ground beef adding a little caramelized onion only makes it richer! Choose a medium onion to bring wonderful sauteed onion flavor to the beefy mixture.

Ground Beef – Lean ground beef is the best when browned and layered in an amazing casserole. It brings lots of protein, iron, and, of course, amazing meaty flavor to the meal! If you want to make a leaner twist, try subbing in ground turkey or chicken instead.

Tomato Puree – A touch of tomato’s unique umami flavor rounds out the savory notes in the beefy filling. Inside a can of tomato puree is a lot more than just great tomato flavor. This pantry staple is loaded with vitamins A and C to support your health.
