Notes
- Always brown your ground meat first; skipping this step makes the casserole watery and less flavorful, a mistake I’ve made too many times!
- Use UNCOOKED pasta! Adding pre-cooked pasta will result in a mushy, sad mess. I tried to save time once, and it was a textural disaster.
- Season in layers – taste the beef mixture, taste the sauce. It makes a huge difference.
- For an extra pop of freshness, a squeeze of lemon juice over the finished dish can really brighten the flavors.
