🛒 Ingredients (Check Off As You Measure)

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce
• 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour in the marinara sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the tortellini directly into the sauce, stirring to coat every piece.
4. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and bake for 20 minutes.
5. Remove the cover and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortellini are tender. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
