Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or half-and-half)
  • 18 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook for 3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until browned. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  4. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink (6-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  5. Sprinkle flour over beef mixture and stir well. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. In a mixing bowl, blend sour cream, cream cheese, and milk until smooth. Stir creamy mixture into beef filling. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  7. Gently fold drained tortellini into beef mixture. Pour into prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10-12 minutes until bubbly and golden. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispy cheese top, if desired.
  10. Let bake rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For vegetarian, double mushrooms and omit beef. Use gluten-free flour and tortellini for gluten-free. Don’t overcook tortellini; they’ll finish in the oven. Use room-temperature dairy for a smoother sauce. Let casserole rest before serving for best texture. Add spinach or bell peppers for extra veggies.
