Ingredients

• 3 large Russet potatoes
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 can (10 ounces) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 1 medium Jalapeño, diced
• 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 bag or loaf Tortilla chips or crusty bread (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into cubes. Boil them in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender, then drain and mash until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and diced jalapeño to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, sour cream, and cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Spread half of the potato mixture in the bottom of a large oven-safe baking dish.

Step 9

Layer the cooked beef mixture evenly over the potato layer.

Step 10

Top the beef layer with the remaining potato mixture, spreading it out evenly.

Step 11

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Step 14

Serve hot with tortilla chips or slices of crusty bread for dipping.
