Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.

- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the beef mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Top the casserole with diced pickles, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes for a fresh crunch and added flavor.
