Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 24 ounces fresh refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella divided
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- Fresh minced parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain off as much grease as possible.
- Add marinara sauce, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for a minute.
- Stir in fresh tortellini, cream cheese and 1 cup of mozzarella and stir until cream cheese is completely melted.
- Pour into a greased 9x13-inch pan or if your skillet is oven safe you can leave it in that pan.
- Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top and cover with non-stick foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. *Tip - if you don’t have non-stick foil, stick toothpicks gently into the casserole, and gently cover with the foil so the toothpicks don’t poke through.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 to brown the top. Garnish with fresh mince parsley or basil if desired.
