# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and break apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
03 -
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with beef. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until onion is softened and translucent.
04 -
Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture in the prepared baking dish. Arrange thinly sliced potatoes over the beef. Season potatoes with salt, pepper, dried Italian seasoning, and paprika.
05 -
Sprinkle shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Pour beef broth or water around the edges to moisten the potatoes. Optionally, drizzle with milk for extra creaminess.
06 -
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden and bubbly.
07 -
Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
