Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess grease.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes.
- Repeat with another layer of potatoes and the remaining ground beef mixture.
- Pour beef broth evenly over the casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil, sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Add vegetables like diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- For crispier potatoes, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes after baking.
