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: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the Beef: 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, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced green bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly and meld the flavors.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked beef or steak to the skillet and stir to combine thoroughly with the sauce and vegetables.
- Add Tortellini: Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and gently toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce.
- Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the pasta mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3-5 minutes over low heat, or until the cheese has melted completely. Serve hot immediately.
Notes
- For an extra authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, consider using shaved ribeye steak instead of ground beef.
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup if preferred.
- To make this recipe lighter, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the sauce will be less rich.
- This dish can be easily doubled to serve more people.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
