In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil and add 1 medium finely diced onion; sauté until yellow.

Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of 7 spices, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom; mix for 4-5 minutes or until no longer pink.

In an oven-safe cookware, spread half of the mashed potatoes on the bottom.

Add the ground beef mixture on top of the mashed potatoes.

Spread the remaining half of the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture.

Top with 1 cup of shredded Italian style cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-45 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
