| 1 lb ground beef | 1 lb |
| 1 small onion, diced | 1 |

Cooking Instructions:
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

- Step 3: Stir in the diced pickles and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Step 4: In a separate saucepan, whisk together the milk, flour, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- Step 5: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Step 6: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the ground beef mixture. Top with half of the cheese sauce. Repeat the layers with the remaining ground beef mixture and cheese sauce.
- Step 7: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Step 9: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
