# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 teaspoon paprika
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
1 pound ground beef
04 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
05 -
1/2 cup beef broth or water
06 -
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
07 -
1 medium onion, chopped
08 -
1/4 cup milk (if you want it creamy, pour this in)
09 -
4-5 medium potatoes, sliced thin
10 -
Fresh parsley (if you feel like garnishing)
11 -
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
12 -
Salt and pepper, add as much as you like
13 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Before digging in, give it five minutes to cool off. Toss on chopped parsley if you've got it, then plate it up while hot.
02 -
Put foil over the dish and bake for half an hour. Take the foil away and pop it back in for another 15 to 20 minutes. You want melty golden cheese and soft potatoes.
03 -
Toss both cheeses across the potatoes. Pour the broth or water around the sides. If you're after creamy, splash on some milk, too.
04 -
First, spread the cooked beef mix over the bottom of your dish. Line up all your potato slices on top. Sprinkle on salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and the paprika.
05 -
Drop the chopped onion and garlic into the skillet with the browned beef. Let it cook for a few minutes so the onion goes soft and clear.
06 -
Drizzle in olive oil and warm your skillet on medium. Break the ground beef apart as you cook. When it turns brown (about five to seven minutes), dump off any extra fat.
07 -
Crank your oven up to 375°F (190°C). Oil up a 9×13 pan or hit it with cooking spray so nothing sticks.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Keep your spud slices the same width so they cook through together
02 -
Dump any grease from the beef so you don't end up with a soggy meal
03 -
Letting it sit makes the flavors come together even better
