For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the ground beef with a diced onion and garlic before adding the tomatoes. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack, Gruyere, or a blend of your favorites. A sprinkle of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers on top before baking adds a delightful crunch.
