- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Ingredients (paragraph style)
You’ll need 1 lb (450 g) ground beef, 3–4 medium potatoes peeled and thinly sliced, 1 small onion finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic minced, salt and black pepper to taste, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 cup milk or light cream, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1 cup shredded cheddar, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, and a little oil for cooking.
