Scale

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic, cooking until beef is browned. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Drain any excess grease.

- In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth and sour cream. Pour evenly over the casserole.

- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a layer of cooked mushrooms or bell peppers.
