Taco Casserole

This is a nice variation to the traditional "taco night."  It's meant to be eaten in a bowl, though you can certainly try wrapping it up in the tortilla of your choice if you wish.

Taco Casserole

1 lb. ground beef
1 med. onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1/2 c. tomato juice or water
