Ingredients:
2 12 oz packs of cheese tortellini
1 lb ground beef

8 oz. cream cheese, cubed
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tbsp parsley

Instructions:
Boil the pasta a la dente according to the package instructions. We cooked ours for 10 minutes, but your amount of time might differ depending on the size and brand of your tortellini. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking dish with baking spray. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the pepper, garlic salt, and parsley. Remove the excess grease from the browned beef and then stir in your tomato sauce and cream cheese. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is thoroughly mixed, Add parmesan cheese and mix. Combine the cooked tortellini with the sauce mixture and then pour it all into the casserole dish; Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. Bake uncovered in the center rack of the oven for 15 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and continue baking for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese starts to turn golden and bubbly. Serve with garlic bread and salad, if desired.
