- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

- 2 cups shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Cook the beef and onion in a large skillet over high heat until the meat is browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.
