Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and diced tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low, sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the beef mixture, cover, and let sit for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
