Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Spoon generous portions of the Cowboy Casserole onto plates and enjoy!
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or sausage for the ground beef.
If you don't have refrigerated biscuits, you can use homemade biscuit dough or cornbread topping instead.
Add a can of drained and rinsed corn or diced bell peppers for added flavor and vegetables.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese or a dollop of sour cream before serving for extra richness.
