One Skillet Creamy Beef & Tortellini Casserole
This is one of my favorite go to busy weeknight dinners. I keep the ingredients on hand because I know that I can always count on this dish to come through for me after a long day. The whole family loves its, and I love that it only takes a few ingredients and cooks all in one skillet. Plus it's an absolutely delicious payoff for such a low effort dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large skillet cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and drain excess grease.
-
Pour in pasta sauce, use about 1/2 cup water to shake in the empty jar and add into the skillet and bring everything to a simmer.
-
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese and stir it in until it's pretty much melted and the sauce gets smooth and creamy.
-
Stir in the refrigerated tortellini, and coat it well with the sauce. Then cover, and let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Check your tortellini for doneness, mine usually takes another 5-7 minutes.
-
Once the tortellini is soft and fluffy, sprinkle the shredded cheese on the top and replace the lid to allow it to melt and get bubbly. If your skillet is oven safe you can pop it under the broiler for a minute or two for some extra browning. Top with parsley and parmesan and Enjoy!
