TIPS:

• To have the juicy casserole, use the beef with 20 percent fat content.
• If you like the dry & leaner version, you may go for the chicken/turkey(ground).
• Cook the beef mixture without covering for another ten mins so that most of the water evaporates to give you concentrated flavor without using any thickener
• Make your casserole a bit spicy by using cayenne pepper(a pinch).
• If you give it the rest for a few mins after baking, it will slice neatly & better.
