One Pot Ground Beef Tortellini Casserole

30 minutes and a deep skillet is all you need for this fantastic, hearty tortellini casserole!

I don't make a lot of tortellini but occasionally I really crave it. I wanted to find a quicker recipe that didn't involve a long stewed sauce or crockpot or anything like that. One pot recipes are fantastic and there are more and more of them now. This recipe was quick and easy and made for such a hearty and filling dinner!

Recipe from Foody Schmoody

I haven't posted a tortellini recipe since January 2017 and it's still one of my favorites, so you must try this Olive Garden copycat Parmesan Crusted Prosciutto Tortellini. Although school is almost back in session, it's certainly feeling like summer still and we have done occasional grill outs (just us) when it's not boiling hot out. This Summer Tortellini Salad from Palatable Pastime would be the perfect summer side dish when grilling!
