For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder to the meat sauce. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add an extra tablespoon of sour cream to the cheese mixture. Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in the cheese mixture. Feel free to substitute Italian sausage for ground beef. This dish 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.
