1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat Oven:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Cook Beef:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.

Layer Casserole:

Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Add Sour Cream and Veggies:

Spoon sour cream over the beef layer and spread it out gently. Top with diced tomatoes, bell peppers, black olives (if using), and green onions.

Top with Cheese:

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Bake:

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
