Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

2 bell peppers (any color), diced

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent (about 3 minutes).

    Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

      Add the Peppers: Stir in the diced bell peppers and continue to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften.

        Make it Cheesy: Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until it melts and combines evenly with the beef mixture. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until everything is well incorporated and gooey.

          Serve: Once everything is homogenous and heated through, remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley.

            Enjoy: Serve warm with crusty bread, over rice, or in taco shells for a delightful and cheesy meal!
