Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned (5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat.
Stir in chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until soft (3-4 minutes).
Spread the beef mixture in the baking dish. Layer thinly sliced potatoes on top, season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
Sprinkle cheeses over potatoes and pour beef broth around the edges.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.

Use a mandoline for even potato slices. You can include leftover mashed potatoes to save oven time. Freshly grated cheese creates a better melt.
