Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 400°F. While that’s warming up, I grab my large skillet and brown the ground beef (or turkey) over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula. The savory smell is irresistible, and I can hardly wait for the finished dish! After the meat is browned, I drain any excess fat, then add in the diced onions. Cooking them for about 3-4 minutes until they’re soft fills my kitchen with an amazing aroma. Next, I mix in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. The mixture becomes rich and creamy—just perfect to hold everything together.
