Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Brown the Ground Beef:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat if necessary.

3. Add Onion and Garlic:

8. Bake:

  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

9. Optional Broiling:

  • If you’d like a golden-brown cheesy crust, uncover the dish during the last 10 minutes of baking and broil for a few minutes until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
