📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat and Prepare: Heat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat thoroughly.
3
Season the Meat: Add taco seasoning packets to the beef, following package directions. This usually involves adding water and simmering for a few minutes.
4
Prepare Cheese Mixtures: In a small bowl, combine the cheddar cheese with a handful of Monterey Jack for the topping. In another bowl, mix the remaining Monterey Jack cheese with the chopped onions.
