Step-by-Step Instructions for Beefy Tortellini Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and ground beef, cooking until the meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce begins to bubble.
  4. Cook the cheese-filled tortellini according to package instructions until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  5. Fold the cooked tortellini into the beef mixture, ensuring each piece is coated.
  6. Transfer to the baking dish, top with shredded mozzarella cheese, and bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
