A hearty one-dish meal combining ground beef, potatoes, and cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4-5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or water
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, for creaminess)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef; cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft.
  4. Layer the thinly sliced potatoes on top of the beef in the baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly, then add the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese over the beef. Pour beef broth around the edges of the casserole and optionally drizzle with milk.
  6. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
