Notes

Storage:

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container or in the casserole dish, covered with plastic wrap. You can also freeze this casserole for up to 3 months.

Tips:

Use a lean ground beef in this recipe for the best results.
Grate the cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded. It melts better.
Don't overcook noodles.
