A simple, hearty casserole combining seasoned ground beef, cheese tortellini, and rich enchilada sauce baked until bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for topping, optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir the tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, water, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder into the skillet with the beef mixture. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  4. Add the uncooked cheese tortellini to the sauce mixture in the skillet. Stir gently to coat the tortellini completely.
  5. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving. Top with remaining cheese, sour cream, and cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • You can use frozen, fully cooked tortellini; if you do, reduce the baking time by about 10 minutes.
  • Use mild, medium, or hot enchilada sauce based on your preference for spice level.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute chicken broth for the water in the sauce mixture.
