A cozy, flavor-packed one-pan meal featuring savory ground beef, cheese tortellini, and smoky enchilada sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 bag (20 oz) cheese tortellini
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar-jack cheese blend
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (14 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 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, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté the aromatics. Add the finely diced small yellow onion and 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Brown the beef. Add 1 pound ground beef to the skillet and cook until nicely browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  4. Build the sauce. Stir in the 14 oz can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, the 10 oz can of red enchilada sauce, and 2 cups beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cook the tortellini. Add the 20 oz cheese tortellini to the simmering sauce. Cook according to package instructions until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Finish with cheese and cream. Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar-jack cheese blend and 1/4 cup sour cream until melted and well combined.
  7. Season and serve. Season with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed, then serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

Use fresh or refrigerated tortellini for the best texture. This dish can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
