Chili Tortellini

Kind of random, but last Sunday I was deciding what to make the boys and husband for dinner and just when I was going to make a pot of chili, I saw a package of tortellini in my pantry. I thought, I do chili mac all the time so why not add tortellini to my chili?! The rest is history and we loved this speedy to make dinner.

Ingredients for Chili Tortellini

Here’s your line up. I found my tortellini at Trader Joe’s, but whatever brand you can find will work.

How to Make This Delicious Dinner

Cook your tortellini according to the package directions. Cook al dente, careful to not overcook.

Finely chop some onions.

Saute your onion and garlic then brown the beef. Once browned, pour in your broth.

Add  your cooked tortellini back to the pot.

Add your beans and tomato sauce or diced tomatoes. I would suggest diced tomatoes.

A little cumin.

A little chili powder, then give a good stir.

You’ll get a little pot of deliciousness that looks like this.

Think chili mac but even better. Enjoy!
