→ For Seasonings
09 -
Salt and pepper to taste
10 -
Kinder's Garlic and Herb seasoning (or any garlic herb blend)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
02 -
In a large oven-safe skillet or pot, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic. Drain the grease if you prefer - I usually do!
03 -
Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, and the garlic herb blend. Use about 1 tablespoon of the garlic herb seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, and some pepper. Adjust to your taste!
04 -
Stir in the fresh cheese tortellini, Boursin cheese, spaghetti sauce, and beef broth. Mix everything together well until the Boursin starts to melt and blend in.
05 -
Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Use as much or as little as you like - I go for a generous layer!
06 -
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
07 -
Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve hot. This creamy, cheesy tortellini bake is so good!
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure to use fresh tortellini, not frozen - it cooks perfectly in the sauce without needing to be boiled first.
02 -
Boursin cheese is what makes this extra creamy and adds amazing garlic herb flavor.
03 -
You can use any flavor of spaghetti sauce you like - marinara, mushroom, or meat sauce all work great.
04 -
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish before topping with cheese.
05 -
Leftovers reheat beautifully in the microwave or oven.
