Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic; sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Season the beef with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder; mix well.
  5. In a separate saucepan, warm the heavy cream and beef broth over low heat until heated but not boiling.

  8. Top with mozzarella cheese.
  9. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  10. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving hot.
