Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (optional).
In a large heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the diced onion, and ground beef. Season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, minced garlic, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and chopped potatoes. Season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ¼ cup of water, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are tender. Add more water if they stick to the pan.
Once the potatoes are ready, return the beef to the pan. Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. If the mixture is dry, add another ¼ cup of water.
Sprinkle half of the cheese over the mixture and stir to combine. Then top with the remaining cheese and place in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Notes

For a slightly healthier version, consider using ground turkey instead of beef.
Experiment with different types of cheese based on your preferences.
Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream or green onions for added flavor.
