2 beef bouillon cubes
1 cup (240ml) water
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup (240g) mashed potatoes
Fresh parsley, chopped, to taste

  8. Transfer the meat mixture to an oven-safe dish or casserole, spreading evenly
  9. Cover the surface of the beef loaf with the creamy cheese spread, spreading it into a smooth layer
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese spread melts and lightly browns
