Ingredients

1 Tablespoon olive oil
½ medium onion chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
4 cloves garlic minced
24 ounces marinara sauce (1 jar)
2 packages frozen tortellini (9 ounces each)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
Add the oil and onion to a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté for 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the beef and garlic and continue cooking, breaking the meat up, until the beef has browned (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off excess grease from hamburger. Transfer the cooked beef to a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Add the marinara sauce, cheese tortellini, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the casserole dish, then toss it all together and spread it out in an even layer.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top, then cover the dish tightly with foil.
Place in preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the tortellini is cooked and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
