  7. Dump the ground beef mixture on top of the dough and spread it out evenly.
  8. Dump the cream cheese, mayo, onion powder, and salt into a mixing bowl and cream together with an electric mixer until smooth.
  9. Spoon the cream cheese mixture on top of the ground beef mixture in the baking dish and spread it out as evenly as possible.
  10. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
  11. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
  12. After 40 minutes remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
