Recipe Tips

- For a spicier casserole, add a diced jalapeño pepper to the ground beef mixture. - If you can't find ripe plantains, you can use green plantains instead. Simply slice them thinly and fry them in oil until they are cooked through. - This casserole is great served with a side of rice and beans or a fresh green salad.
