Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 4 slices bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Finely dice the small onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink.
Season the beef with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and evenly mixed into the beef.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then remove the skillet from heat.
While the beef mixture is cooking, toast the bread slices. Spread butter on each slice and toast in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster until golden brown.
Spoon the ground beef and cream cheese mixture generously onto the toasted bread slices.
If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
