instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

    3

    Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

    4

    Chop the carrot and bell pepper into small pieces and add them to the mixture in the skillet. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

    5

    Crumble the tofu into the skillet and gently mix it with the beef and vegetables, being careful not to break it down too much.

    6

    Add soy sauce, black pepper, and sesame oil to the meat mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

    7

    Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle cheese on top.

    8

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

    9

    While the casserole is baking, chop the green onion.
