Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Add 2 pounds of ground beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 7-8 minutes until fully browned.

Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish, layer with 8 ounces of torn provolone cheese, and top with 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
