Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain excess grease. Season with garlic, salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use Fresh, Seasonal Ingredients: When possible, use fresh, seasonal ingredients for the best flavor and nutritional value. Farmers' markets and local grocery stores are great places to find fresh produce.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to season your food to taste. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper and then add more as needed. You can always add more seasoning, but it's difficult to take it away.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
- Use a Variety of Cooking Techniques: Don't be afraid to experiment with different cooking techniques. Roasting, grilling, sautéing, and steaming are all great ways to cook food.
- Be Patient: Cooking takes time. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with overcooked or undercooked food. Be patient and let the food cook until it's done.
