Notes
Chop the onion into small pieces for a better distribution of flavor throughout the casserole.
Use fresh green beans instead of frozen or canned. They have more flavor and crunch.
Grate your cheese rather than using pre-shredded varieties found in stores as these tend to have added ingredients that prevent melting properly during the baking process.
Drain off any excess grease from cooking the ground meat before combining with other ingredients so they don’t make the dish greasy.
Broil the top layer of cheese to brown slightly to give it a golden color.
