Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup mini pepperoni
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
- 4 oz cream cheese cubed
- ½ cup water
- 1 package (19 oz) frozen cheese tortellini
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Cooking
- Brown the beef. Cook in a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat until browned. Season with pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Crisp the pepperoni. Stir in the pepperoni for 2 minutes, then drain excess fat.
- Add garlic. Cook the garlic for 1 minute.
- Make the sauce. Add the marinara, cream cheese, and water and stir until smooth.
- Cook the tortellini. Stir in the frozen tortellini, cover, and simmer on medium low 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then.
- Top. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and cheddar.
- Broil. Broil 2 to 3 minutes until bubbly and spotted brown, or cover on low heat until melted.
Notes
Substitutions: Use Italian sausage for beef, ricotta for cream cheese, and fresh tortellini for frozen (it cooks faster).
Tips: Cook the beef to 160 degrees F and keep the simmer gentle so the tortellini does not break. Watch the broiler closely.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of marinara or water to 165 degrees F.
