Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Sauté olive oil with ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned (about 5-7 minutes), then drain excess fat.
  • Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Layer the beef mixture in the baking dish. Add potato slices on top, seasoning with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
  • Sprinkle cheddar and parmesan cheeses over the potato layer, and pour beef broth (or water) around the edges; drizzle with milk if desired.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
