Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Aromatics
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Pasta and Cheese
- 1 package (20 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
Garnish
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed to avoid a greasy sauce.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
- Season and Deglaze: Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits for more flavor.
- Add Creamy Ingredients: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until the sauce is smooth and fully combined.
- Cook Tortellini: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the refrigerated tortellini directly into the skillet. Cover and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- Try using mushroom or spinach tortellini for a different flavor profile.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to lighten the dish.
- For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream before serving.
