In my house, we like strong, flavorful dishes and this fit the bill! I have already made it twice...both times I did not have tarragon or onion powder (keep forgetting to buy them at the grocery store) so I used 1 tsp of garlic powder instead. I marinated the chops in a ziploc bag in the fridge for approximately 9 hours while I was at work. The edges of the chops got crispy on the grill but were still completely edible and actually ended up being the most tasty parts. ALL AROUND YUMMY! Definitely making it again but I think I will try the slow cooker (per another reviewer) since that would be good while I'm at work, with less to do when we get home!

I make this at least once a month -- easy and tasty. I used to buy meat that was pre-sliced for stir-fries but found that it came out really tough. So now I buy a better cut of beef in larger pieces (like a steak for grilling) and slice it myself. Works great! Also, I usually add broccoli or asparagus, or use only the broccoli/asparagus if that's all I have in my fridge.

I found this recipe when looking for something to do with my extra/unused shredded mozzerella and chedder cheeses. It turned out to be a total HIT with my meat-loving husband and a great time-saving meal for me. I browned / seasoned the beef the night before and just turned the slow cooker on in the morning when I left for work. It smelled fantastic when I got home! While I agree that it's not "gourmet" or "real Italian" pasta, it very nicely satisfied our hunger on a weeknight and felt like a good, homecooked meal that didn't require a ton of work! I also agree that the tortellini are a bit "wasted" on such a thick/heavy sauce, but I wasn't going for anything fancy. Just wanted to use up the cheese!The real testimonial is that I've already made it twice and plan to make it again. I added 1 tsp brown sugar, per the other reviews, and only used italian sausage (did not have ground beef), but otherwise followed the recipe.
