Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish; then, set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks until it is no longer pink. Next, add the diced onions, garlic, and sauté for an additional minute. Be sure to drain off any excess grease before proceeding.
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef mixture with all the remaining ingredients except the bacon bits. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
Then, transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out into an even layer. Top with bacon bits if using.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving warm!
Enjoy and make your day super duper!
