Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 12-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned. Add onions, carrots and garlic; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add flour, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.
