Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package cheese tortellini (20 oz)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 cups provolone cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Cook Tortellini: Prepare the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Beef and Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the beef is fully cooked and the vegetables are soft.
- Season: Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
- Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream, shredded provolone cheese, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the tortellini is well coated with the sauce.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef while cooking.
- You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different twist.
