Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef sirloin 85% lean
  • 1 cup yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cheese tortellini refrigerated or frozen
  • 2 cups beef broth low-sodium preferred
  • 4 slices provolone cheese or American cheese for creaminess
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp salt adjust to taste

Method
 

Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add beef broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Lay provolone cheese slices over the top of the mixture. Cover and let melt for 2–3 minutes until cheese is gooey and fully melted.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with extra black pepper or chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet with a splash of broth to restore moisture.
