baked tortellini with meat sauce

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mild cheddar
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 18 oz cheese tortellini , refrigerated and uncooked
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • - Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and position the oven rack in the upper third of the oven.
  • - Take a skillet and heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes.
  • - Stir in the beef and garlic, and continue to cook, breaking up the meat with your spoon, until the beef has browned, which should take around 8-10 minutes. If there's excess fat, spoon it out, and then transfer the cooked beef to a 9x13 casserole dish.
  • - Into the casserole dish, add the marinara sauce, cheese-filled tortellini, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together and spread it out evenly.
  • - Sprinkle the cheeses on top, and then cover the dish securely with foil.
  • - Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the tortellini is fully cooked, and the cheese has melted. Optionally, you can remove the foil once it's done and broil for a few minutes to give the cheese a nice golden brown finish.
