Instructions

  • Fire up your skillet on medium-high and brown the ground beef by breaking it apart with a spoon.
  • Drain any excess grease, then add salt, pepper, steak seasoning, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir together.
  • Pour in water and beef bouillon granules. Simmer and stir until granules dissolve.
  • Add cheese tortellini, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Check for tenderness. If needed, cook a bit longer on low heat until tortellini is soft but firm.
