Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In my kitchen, I find that the preheating step is essential because it ensures that the casserole bakes evenly. Next, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef along with the diced onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. This savory mix of flavors really enhances the dish! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
