Description
A quick and comforting dish that combines the robust flavor of classic beef stroganoff with the convenience of refrigerated tortellini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef, cooking it until it’s browned and slightly crisp. Drain any excess grease before returning the beef to the pan.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring them together for a few minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, then add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- When the mixture begins to gently bubble, add the tortellini and fold it into the sauce. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the tortellini are tender and plump.
- Reduce the heat to low, stirring in the sour cream for that classic stroganoff richness. Allow it all to warm through for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finally, remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This dish freezes well for 2-3 months.
