- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Dried herbs (thyme or oregano)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion in olive oil until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks until browned (about 8 minutes). Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper.
