For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans or kidney beans to the chili mixture. Spice it up! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the chili mixture for an extra kick. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend would all be delicious. To make this dish ahead of time, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it (covered) for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or some sliced green onions for a fresh and vibrant presentation.
