Instructions
- Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the 96% lean ground beef until fully browned. Break it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess liquid if needed. - Add to Slow Cooker
Transfer the cooked beef to a slow cooker. Add the fat-free cream of mushroom soup, ranch seasoning packet, chopped onion, and almond milk. Stir well to combine. - Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, allowing the flavors to blend and the onions to soften. - Add Tortellini
Stir in the reduced-fat tortellini. Cover and cook on LOW for another 25–35 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. - Finish with Cheese
Stir in the part-skim mozzarella cheese. Cover for 5 minutes until melted and creamy. - Serve
