Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a healthier twist, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
