    1. Prepare the stuffing of meat:
      Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. After adding the chopped onion and garlic, cook for approximately five minutes, or until they are soft and transparent.
      Cook the celery and carrot for a further five to seven minutes, or until they are tender.
      As it cooks, stir in the ground beef, breaking it up. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until browned.
      Add the basil, oregano, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer the ingredients for ten to fifteen minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
      Stir in the grated Parmesan and set the filling aside.

      Set the oven’s temperature to 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F).

      Evenly distribute the meat mixture over the potatoes using a spoon.
      Spread out the remaining mashed potatoes to form an even layer on top.
      On top, scatter the provolone or mozzarella cheese shreds. For added crunch, you can optionally sprinkle on some breadcrumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
