Cheesy Baked Tortellini Casserole With Meat Sauce

Step 1

Cook the pasta a la dente according to the package directions; drain and set aside.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350° F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Step 3

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the seasoning of your choice. I use salt, garlic powder, black pepper & Italian seasoning.

Step 4

Remove the excess grease from the browned beef and then stir in your tomato sauce and cream cheese. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is well incorporated.

Step 5

Gently toss your cooked tortellini in with the sauce mixture and then pour it into your prepared casserole dish. Evenly sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella and parmesan.

Step 6

Bake uncovered in the center rack of your oven for about 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and continue baking for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown.

Step 7

Enjoy alone or with a side of salad, veggies, or garlic bread!
