Get ready for a layered hearty dish. It’s extra-cheesy thanks to the melted mozzarella, Cheddar, and Emmentaler cheese. It’s extra-meaty thanks to the ground beef mixture. We think you should turn the spicy dial up to 'hot' by mixing in Tabasco sauce and taco seasoning. Also, add a layer of red chili paste.
