Description

This One-Pan French Onion Beef & Tortellini Skillet is a comforting and hearty meal perfect for weeknight dinners. Featuring browned ground beef, savory onion soup mix, tender cheese-filled tortellini, and a creamy Gruyere cheese sauce, all cooked together in a single skillet for a flavorful and easy-to-make dish.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ½ large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 oz onion soup mix (about one standard envelope)
  • 1 cup peas and carrots (frozen or mixed vegetables)
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 10 oz cheese-filled tortellini (about 3 cups, refrigerated)
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef and Onions: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, cooking until the beef is browned and onions are tender. Drain the excess fat from the skillet to keep the dish lean.
  2. Add Garlic and Onion Soup Mix: Stir in the minced garlic and onion soup mix; cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, which helps deepen the flavor base for the sauce.
  3. Simmer Vegetables and Broth: Add the peas and carrots to the skillet, then pour in the low-sodium beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer to start combining flavors.
  4. Cook the Tortellini: Add the cheese-filled tortellini to the skillet, cover, and cook for about 7 minutes. Stir occasionally until the tortellini is tender and fully cooked through.
  5. Create the Creamy Sauce: Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream and shredded Gruyere cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
  6. Season and Serve: Add the black pepper and give everything one final stir. Serve the skillet hot; optionally garnish with additional cheese or fresh parsley for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Drain the excess beef fat after browning to avoid a greasy skillet and help keep the dish light.
  • You can substitute the peas and carrots with any frozen mixed vegetables of your choice.
  • If Gruyere is not available, Swiss cheese is a suitable alternative.
  • Let the skillet sit covered off heat for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
  • This recipe can be adapted to use turkey or chicken ground meat for a leaner option.
