For a smokier flavor, use smoked paprika in addition to the taco seasoning. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. Add a can of drained and rinsed black beans for extra fiber and protein. If you like it extra spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some finely chopped jalapeño to the beef mixture. For a creamier casserole, stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt before topping with cheese.
