- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onions until browned; season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Drain the potatoes and mash until smooth. Mix in salt, pepper, and half of each type of cheese.
