Ingredients

For the Beef:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or beef steak cut into small pieces)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for extra creaminess)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Additional Toppings (Optional):

  • Sliced jalapeños or chili flakes (for a spicy kick)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Toasted bread or burger buns (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef (or small beef pieces) to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through.
  4. Season with smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, and let the beef simmer for another 2-3 minutes for the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Cheese Sauce

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly to make a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  2. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking, ensuring the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until it thickens.
  3. Lower the heat and add the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheese melts completely, creating a smooth and creamy cheese sauce.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Combine and Serve

  1. Pour the cheesy beef mixture over the cooked beef, stirring gently to combine the beef with the creamy cheese sauce.
  2. If you'd like, serve this cheesy beef mix over toasted bread, burger buns, or as a filling for wraps or tacos.
  3. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and add sliced jalapeños or chili flakes for an extra flavor kick.
