Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 19 oz frozen cheese tortellini
- 10.5 oz condensed cheddar soup
- 10 oz Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (not drained)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Ground Beef:
Place a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef and diced onions.
Stir and crumble the beef as it cooks, ensuring the onions soften.
Once the beef is fully browned, drain any excess grease.
2️⃣ Season the Beef:
Add the salt, pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir well and cook for one more minute to release the garlic’s aroma.
3️⃣ Add Tortellini and Base Ingredients:
Stir the frozen cheese tortellini into the skillet.
Add the condensed cheddar soup and the Rotel (with its juices), stirring until well combined.
4️⃣ Create the Sauce:
Pour in the milk, yellow mustard, and ketchup. Stir thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
5️⃣ Simmer the Tortellini:
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Allow the tortellini to simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring once halfway through to prevent sticking.
6️⃣ Melt the Cheese:
Remove the lid and stir well to combine everything.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Place the skillet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Alternatively, you can cover the skillet with the lid and let the cheese melt on the stovetop.
7️⃣ Rest and Serve:
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy your cheeseburger-inspired tortellini dish!
