These appetizers are a slight twist on the conventional tourtiere recipe. Ground beef replaces the traditional pork for a subtler taste, and with cream cheese pastry taking the place of pie pastry, these mini tourtiere melt in your mouth. They're a wonderful addition to the appetizer menu during the Christmas season and beyond. They're a time-saver, too-while the dough chills, you can prepare the filling. -Cheryl Bruneau, Winnipeg, Manitoba

Steps:
- Cream butter and cream cheese. Add flour, a little at a time, until a dough forms. Shape into a ball; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour., Meanwhile for filling, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion; cook, crumbling meat, until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute more. Add the next eight ingredients. Stir in bread crumbs to absorb meat juices. Let stand about 10 minutes., On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-3/4-in. round biscuit or cookie cutter. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of 30 ungreased mini muffin cups, re-rolling dough as needed., Preheat oven to 375°. Spoon 1 tablespoon filling into prepared mini muffin cups. Bake until crust is golden, about 15 minutes. If desired, top with tomatoes and parsley.
