Ingredients
-
1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
-
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
-
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
-
20 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
-
1 cup sour cream (full-fat for best texture)
-
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms
-
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or grated Parmesan
Instructions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
-
Add olive oil if necessary, then stir in the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
-
Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
-
Add the cheese tortellini and optional mushrooms. Cover and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tortellini are tender.
-
Remove the skillet from heat. Gently fold in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
-
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley or Parmesan before serving.
Notes
-
For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
-
Sauce thickens as it rests; add a splash of broth if reheating.
-
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers store well for up to 3 days refrigerated.
-
Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
