Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Liquids
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups beef broth
Pasta and Dairy
- 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed to reduce greasiness.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the onion softens and the mixture is fragrant.
- Season the Mixture: Stir in paprika, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat the beef and vegetables with the spices.
- Add Broth and Tortellini: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the refrigerated cheese tortellini, stirring gently to coat them in the liquid.
- Cook the Tortellini: Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini is tender and cooked through.
- Finish the Sauce: Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Add Cheese and Combine: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese over the mixture and stir until melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the stroganoff tortellini hot for a delicious, hearty meal.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream along with the sour cream.
- Use mushroom tortellini or sauté 1 cup of mushrooms and stir them in for a more traditional stroganoff flavor.
- Be sure to drain any excess fat after browning the beef to keep the dish from becoming too greasy.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
