Here’s a comforting French Onion Beef & Tortellini recipe – it’s like French onion soup meets a cheesy pasta bake. 🧅🥩🍝

🥘 French Onion Beef & Tortellini

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (or sliced steak, optional)

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 packet (1 oz) French onion soup mix

• 3 cups beef broth

• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

• 1 bag (about 20 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1 cup shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese (for that French onion flavor)

• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Caramelize onions: In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-low heat. Add onions, cook slowly 15–20 minutes until golden and caramelized. Add garlic, cook 1 minute more.

2. Brown beef: Add ground beef to skillet with onions. Cook until browned. Drain excess grease.

3. Flavor base: Stir in French onion soup mix, beef broth, and cream of mushroom soup. Bring to a simmer.

4. Add pasta: Stir in tortellini. Cover and simmer 7–10 minutes (until tortellini are tender).

5. Cheesy finish: Sprinkle mozzarella and Swiss/Gruyère on top. Cover until melted, or broil for 2–3 minutes for a bubbly golden topping.

6. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

This dish is rich, savory, and has that melty cheese pull like classic French onion soup.
