Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon cooked & crumbled
  • 1 20 oz package cheese tortellini
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef until browned, then add chopped onion and garlic. Cook until softened. Stir in crumbled bacon.
  2. Pour in beef broth, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  3. Add the cheese tortellini to the skillet, cover, and let it cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
  4. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt into a creamy sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!

  • Different Cheese: Swap cheddar for gouda or Monterey Jack.
  • Healthier Option: Use ground turkey instead of beef.
