Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Heat your skillet over medium high. Add the ground beef and let it sit without stirring for 3 minutes until a mahogany colored crust forms. Break the meat apart and cook until fully browned, then drain the fat.
  2. Stir in the diced onion. Cook for 4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 60 seconds until the garlic smells pungent.
  4. Lower the heat to medium. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cream of mushroom soup. Mix until the beef is coated in a glossy sauce.
  5. Transfer the mixture to your 9x9 inch baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  6. Toss the Panko crumbs with melted butter in a small bowl.
  7. Layer the shredded cheddar and Parmesan evenly over the beef.
  8. Sprinkle the buttered Panko crumbs over the cheese.
  9. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are deep golden brown.
