Pour oil into the same skillet and heat over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Return beef to the skillet. Pour in marinara sauce, mix to combine, and turn off heat.

Place meat mixture in an 8×8-inch oven-safe casserole dish. Spread cheese mixture over meat and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is golden brown and cheese is melted, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving
Cook’s Note:
Use a good-quality marinara sauce, either homemade or no-sugar-added store-bought sauce.
