For a spicier kick, use a hot enchilada sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. To prevent the noodles from sticking, you can parboil them for 5 minutes before adding them to the baking dish. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

Jan 21, 2025Next time I'll use a little less enchilada sauce, it was a bit too saucy for my taste.
