1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
1 jar (24 ounce) marinara sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the refrigerated tortellini to the skillet with the sauce mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
You can substitute ricotta cheese for some of the mozzarella for an extra creamy texture.
Add your favorite vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrients.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
