Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin making this scrumptious casserole, I start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C). Next, I brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, adding the diced onion for flavor. This is where my kitchen fills with that savory aroma, which always makes my stomach rumble. Once the beef is cooked through, I drain any excess fat and stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper for seasoning. I set this mixture aside to cool for just a moment.
