Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the diced onion, and ground beef. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, garlic, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion softens, about 5-8 minutes.
Remove the cooked meat and set aside. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the cubed potatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and cook for 1 minute.
Add ¼ cup water to the skillet, cover, and cook while stirring frequently until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Add more water if they begin to stick.
Return the cooked meat to the skillet and mix in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Add additional water if needed.
Sprinkle half the cheese over the mixture, stir to combine, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve warm.

Notes

For a quicker version, you can skip baking and simply serve the dish once the cheese is melted in the skillet.
Make sure to cut the potatoes into equal-sized cubes for even cooking.
