- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper to taste
- 1.5 cups grated mixed cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions
- In a large skillet with a lid, brown the ground beef over medium-low heat with minced garlic. Do not drain the fat; this adds flavor and moisture to the dish.
- Add the sliced potatoes and onions to the skillet, layering them over the beef.
- Sprinkle garlic salt and black pepper to taste over the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cover with the lid. Keep the heat at medium-low.
- Let it cook for 15 minutes. Remove the lid, stir the ingredients from the bottom to the top to ensure even cooking.
- Replace the lid and cook for another 15 minutes. Check for doneness and stir again if needed.
- Once the potatoes are 'fork-tender,' turn off the heat. Cover the meat and potatoes with grated cheese. Put the lid back on for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts.

- Serve immediately, enjoying the comforting warmth of this delicious dish.
