2. Cook the Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, finely chopped white onion, salt, and black pepper together until the beef is fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
3. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or sheet pan to prevent sticking.
