Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, I start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. This is where the magic begins! As the meat cooks, I love the rich aroma that fills my kitchen—it’s warm and inviting. Once the beef is nicely browned and crumbled, I drain the excess grease and toss in the chopped onions, cooking them until they become translucent. Next, I add the Manwich sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stirring all of this together creates a thick, hearty mixture that smells absolutely divine! This is the essence of my casserole! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
