Ingredients
2 lb. extra lean ground beef (93% lean)
4 oz reduced fat cream cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar, divided
1 tsp fine sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder

Directions

- Turn the heat off, and add 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar into the beef mixture. Mix well.
- Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar on top.
- Bake in preheated oven about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
