Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and prep your workspace.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook for 5-8 minutes until fully browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add another teaspoon of olive oil and your cubed russet potatoes with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes until just tender.
  4. Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Sprinkle in granulated garlic powder and mild chili powder, stirring for an additional minute.
  5. Turn off the heat and stir in the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard. Mix in ½ cup of grated cheddar cheese until melted.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish, top with remaining cheddar cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
