Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1¼ cup water
- 1½ teaspoon beef bullion granules
- 1 (20 ounce) package cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook and crumble ground beef with salt and pepper (if desired) until no longer pink. Drain, wipe out skillet if needed, and return ground beef to skillet.
- Stir in steak seasoning, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, water, and beef bullion granules. Bring mixture to a boil.
- Add tortellini, stir to combine, and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 4-5 minutes, or until tortellini are tender and heated through.
- Sprinkle tortellini with cheese, remove from heat, and cover. Let stand 3-4 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. (see note below about a cream sauce)
Notes
- Some readers have commented that this recipe is too dry, but it is not meant to have a cream sauce, so keep that in mind. If you do want a creamy texture, try adding Alfredo sauce, a can of cream of mushroom soup, or a touch of heavy cream for more flavor.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- To freeze: place in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to three months. When ready to serve, let thaw completely in the refrigerator.
