Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a large skillet and warm it over medium-high heat. Toss in the ground beef and chopped onion, cooking everything until the beef is nicely browned and broken up into small pieces. Make sure there’s no pink left, then drain off any extra grease.
