This creamy tortellini bake was the result of me not knowing what to make for dinner one night and rummaged through my fridge to see what I had and low and behold, it instantly became a family favorite! Don’t you love when that happens!!! It only takes a few simple ingredients and can be on the table in about 30 minutes. Oh, and it is a one-pot meal and if you have spent any time reading my other posts, you know how much I love those! So without further ado, let’s get started!

Start by browning 1 lb of ground beef with a diced onion and 6-7 minced garlic cloves.

Once the meat is browned, drain it. (This is a personal preference and definitely not required!)

Add your seasonings. I used Kinders Garlic and Herb and salt and pepper.

I don’t measure, I just eyeball it, but I would guess it was 2-3 tbs of the Kinders and maybe a teaspoon each of salt and pepper!

Add in 20 oz of fresh cheese tortellini. This is my favorite brand!

Then add a package of garlic and herb boursin cheese. You could substitute this with the garlic and herb cream cheese!

You are also going to add a 24 oz jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce and 1 cup of beef broth. Mix that all up really well.

Cover with a thick layer of mozzarella cheese and bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown and bubbly!

I served this with some garlic bread and a dinner salad. It was absolutely wonderful!

this recipe was wicked good and easy to make! I noticed on the printer version of the recipe it didn’t say what temperature to bake it at. so I baked it at 350 instead of 400, and I baked for 20 minutes and it still came out wicked good! I used an 9×13 baking dish, omitted the beef broth, added a 4 oz block of cream cheese and sprinkled the dish with parmesan cheese and it was perfect! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂

You can, but I would boil it for a couple minutes first!
