Step 1

Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Make It Creamy: Reduce heat to low and stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and fully combined.

Step 3

Add Jalapeños & Cheese: Mix in the diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar, and half the mozzarella. Stir until well combined, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Assemble: Spread the beef mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the remaining mozzarella, then spread it on top.

Step 5

Bake: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 6

Garnish & Serve: Let it sit for 5 minutes, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve warm.
