1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

2. Step 2

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until it’s nice and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once it’s cooked, drain any excess grease and transfer the beef into a 9x13-inch casserole dish, creating a hearty base for your dish.

   Next, in the same skillet, add a splash of vegetable oil and heat it over medium heat.

   Toss in the diced onion and chopped garlic, letting them sizzle together until the onion turns beautifully translucent, which will take around 10 minutes.

   This aromatic mixture is going to elevate your casserole, so spoon it over the cooked ground beef in the casserole dish.
