Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 bag (20 oz) cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar-jack cheese blend
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (14 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Brown the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Build the sauce: Stir in the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, red enchilada sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  4. Cook the tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini to the simmering sauce. Cook according to package instructions until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Finish with cheese and cream: Stir in the cheddar-jack cheese blend and sour cream until melted and well combined.
  6. Season: Season with garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Let the skillet simmer a few minutes before adding tortellini for better flavor.
