Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.

In a baking dish, spread half of the mashed mandioca mixture on the bottom. Top with a layer of the cooked ground beef, followed by a layer of shredded queijo coalho.

Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of the mashed mandioca on top.
