Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown the ground beef (about 5-7 minutes), breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
Add onions and garlic; sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until onions are soft.
Layer sliced potatoes over the beef in the baking dish; season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
Sprinkle cheddar and Parmesan cheese on top. Pour beef broth around the edges to keep moisture.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes; then remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with parsley (if desired) and serving hot.
