Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 24 oz jar marinara sauce
- 19 oz frozen tortellini
- 4 oz cream cheese about ½ block
- ⅓ cup mini pepperoni
- Shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese for topping
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, seasoning it with salt, pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Break it up as it cooks. Stir in the mini pepperoni and let them crisp slightly for a minute or two. Drain any excess grease, then add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
- Pour in the marinara sauce and add the cream cheese. Stir everything together until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
- Add the frozen tortellini straight into the skillet, mix well to coat, then cover and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 to 6 minutes until the pasta is tender.
- Top with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar. Add a few more pepperoni if you like.
- Cover and let the cheese melt on low, or pop the skillet under the broiler for a couple minutes until the top is bubbly and golden.
