Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 12 oz cheese tortellini
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef or shaved steak
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Cook Tortellini: Prepare the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain well and set aside to keep warm.
- Brown the Meat: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or shaved steak and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced green bell pepper, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Prepare Sauce: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Combine Meat and Sauce: Return the cooked beef or shaved steak to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly in the creamy sauce.
- Add Tortellini: Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the skillet, coating the pasta thoroughly with the savory sauce and meat mixture.
- Melt Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook just until the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the Philly Cheesesteak Tortellini Pasta hot, garnished if desired, for a comforting and cheesy meal.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with thinly sliced ribeye for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor.
- Use low-fat cream of mushroom soup and reduce heavy cream for a lighter version.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the sauté for extra umami.
- For spicier flavor, add crushed red pepper flakes during the sauce preparation step.
- Leftovers reheat well in a skillet or microwave.
