Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab a large skillet. Brown the ground beef and diced onion together over medium heat until the meat is cooked through and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. I always drain any excess fat to keep the casserole from becoming greasy. After that, stir in the condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, garlic powder, paprika, and seasoning. Everything should come together in a delicious, cheesy mixture! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
