Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
- Place a wide skillet over medium heat and warm the olive oil until it coats the pan evenly.
- Add the diced onion and cook slowly, stirring often, until soft and lightly golden, allowing the sweetness to build.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it apart gently, and allow it to brown without rushing.
- Season the beef with salt, pepper, and paprika, stirring to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Once the beef is fully cooked, stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant.
- Lower the heat and pour in the beef broth, scraping the pan to release all the savory bits.
- Slowly spoon in the cottage cheese, stirring constantly until it blends into a creamy sauce.
- Let everything simmer gently for 5 minutes until thick and comforting.
- Finish with fresh parsley and serve hot with rice, bread, or vegetables.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cottage cheese.
- Serve with crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
