Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce

  • 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 for best moisture)
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, diced (Shallots can be substituted)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced (fresh preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 cups Beef Broth (low sodium or mushroom broth for vegetarian option)

For the Tortellini

  • 1 package Refrigerated Cheese Tortellini (frozen can be used with longer cooking)
  • 1 cup Sour Cream (full-fat or dairy-free alternative)

Cooking Essentials

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (optional, if beef is not fatty enough)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

For Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Parsley

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent, releasing their flavors.
  3. Add Flavorings and Broth: Stir in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce to coat the meat and aromatics evenly. Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to incorporate browned bits, enhancing the sauce’s depth.
  4. Simmer Tortellini: Add the refrigerated cheese tortellini to the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the tortellini are cooked tender, absorbing the flavorful broth.
  5. Finish with Sour Cream: Remove the skillet from heat. Fold in the sour cream gently to create a creamy consistency without curdling. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve hot and enjoy a comforting skillet meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute shallots for the onion if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • Frozen tortellini requires longer cooking time; adjust simmering accordingly.
  • Use low sodium beef broth to control salt levels.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute beef broth with mushroom broth and use a plant-based ground meat or omit the meat entirely.
  • Avoid adding sour cream on high heat to prevent curdling; stir it in after removing the pan from heat.
