Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp italian seasoning
19 oz bag of frozen cheese tortellini
8 oz cream cheese
24 oz jar pasta sauce with mushrooms
1 cup mozzarella
½ cup parmesan

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bring a pot of water to boil and add tortellini. Cook for 3 minutes then drain water.
Add the ground beef and seasoning to a skillet, cook until no pink remains. Drain the fluid.
Cut up the cream cheese into chunks and add to the ground meat.
Mix the pasta sauce with the tortellini, carefully don’t overmix or break up the pasta.
Add the meat mixture to the pasta and carefully stir until mixed well.
Add to a 9x13 dish and bake uncovered for 20 minutes. It should have started to bubble on the sides now.
For a better appearance broil the top of the cheese for a couple of minutes until the desired color is reached (about 2 minutes).
Serve hot with garlic bread and a side salad.

Notes

Storage :

Once the baked tortellini has cooled down it should be covered and kept in the refrigerator, until being heated up. It can keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Baked tortellini also freezes really well for up to 3 months!
