# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a 9×13-inch pan with oil or non-stick spray.
02 - Use a spoon to break up ground beef while cooking it in a skillet on medium heat with olive oil. Let it brown completely for 5-7 minutes, draining any extra fat as needed.
03 - Toss chopped onion and minced garlic in the same skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until everything softens up and smells great.
04 - In the greased dish, layer the cooked beef mix evenly at the bottom. Place your sliced potatoes right after, then sprinkle on a mix of paprika, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
05 - Top your casserole with grated Parmesan and cheddar cheese. Add broth or water around the edges of the dish to help moisten the potatoes. For extra richness, drizzle a bit of milk if you're using it.
06 - Cover your dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese melts, turns golden, and the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.
07 - Add some fresh parsley on top if you'd like and enjoy warm.
