How to Serve

A slice of cheeseburger casserole sits on a white plate with a gold rim, placed on a bright orange cloth. The casserole slice shows three clear layers: the bottom layer is a mix of cooked ground beef with a crumbly texture and light brown color, the middle layer is creamy and light yellow, and the top layer is thick, melted cheese with a golden brown tint and small pieces of red tomato scattered throughout. There are small green herb bits sprinkled lightly on the plate as garnish. In the background, a larger glass casserole dish holds the rest of the casserole on the same orange cloth, with the dish showing a bubbly, golden cheese top. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
