Hearty 5-cheese Tortellini And Beef Stew

- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 4
I made this last week as I went along, so some of the amounts may be estimates - like everything I do, I just throw in this and that, not really measuring. You can change it up as you like to suit your tastes. I'm trying desperately to cook for just 2, so you might need to increase the amounts for your family.

Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef (I use 9% fat) shopping list
- 1/2 chopped onion shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. minced garlic (or more) shopping list
- 1 can beef broth shopping list
- 1 can (15 oz.) petite diced tomatoes (I drained, but you don't have to, we like a thick stew) shopping list
- 1 can tomato sauce (I used a 7 oz. but a 15 oz. would do) shopping list
- 1 can (15 oz.) cannellini beans (or white kidney)(I rinse and drain, but you don't need to) shopping list
- Chopped mushrooms (As many as you like, I used about 6 small white ones) shopping list
- 1 Tbls. dried Italian seasoning (+/-) shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg (approx.) shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- 5-cheese tortellini - about 20 +/- (I had fresh/frozen, but dried ones would work) (any tortellini will do - I buy mine at Costco in the fresh section) shopping list
How to make it
- Brown ground beef in large soup pan (or dutch oven) drain fat
- Add onion and garlic to pan when beef is still browning
- Add broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, and seasonings
- At this point, you can leave to simmer on stove covered for as long as you need
- I wait to add the mushrooms cuz we like them a little firmer, but you can add whenever...
- When ready to eat, turn up burner till stew lowly boils and add tortellini
- It cooks in about 6 or 7 minutes (if thawed)
- That's it! Easy Peasy!
