Ingredients:
- 2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion finely chopped (6 ounces) or vegetable season mix (frozen)
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or other choice), divided (6 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
Condiments/Spice:
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt or 1 teaspoon any other salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup unsweetened ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
1) Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2) In a large skillet, bring olive oil to medium-high heat for approximately 2 minutes. Add beef with the onions; stir to break up beef while cooking until browned and onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
3) Add in the salt, black pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 more minute.
4) Turn the heat off. Stir in the mayonnaise, unsweetened ketchup, mustard, and 1 cup of shredded cheese.
5) Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
6) Bake until the cheese is melted, and the casserole is heated through, for about 15 minutes. OR you can broil the casserole 6 inches below the heating element (not directly below) until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately. Oh Yesssss!!!
