Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s get started by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. I always add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet as the beef cooks, letting those aromatic flavors meld together to create a fantastic base for our casserole. Once the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, I drain any excess grease—this is a crucial step to keep the casserole from becoming too oily. Then, I stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper for that perfect seasoning blend. The aroma at this stage is absolutely mouthwatering! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
