Cheesy Beef Tortellini Enchilada Casserole
I have such a simple recipe to share with you today. I’ve been looking for different ways to cook the tortellini we got from Costco, loads of it, and so I came up with this “not so” tortellini enchilada casserole. All you need are 4 ingredients, tortellini, ground beef, some cheese and enchilada sauce. Now you could use different sauces here, like a good marinara, but personally I love enchilada sauce, so this casserole sort of tastes like an enchilada.
I love tortellini, well I love any pasta really, and I’d like to start making my own pasta soon. Need to buy a pasta maker first, but they’re so darn expensive, at least the one I want, I’m trying to justify it to myself why I should get one. I’m also afraid if I buy one all I’ll make is pasta dishes, or the opposite could be true where I just buy it and never use it. Oh well, for now store bought pasta it is. I just remember when I was a kid and my mom used to make pasta, it was so much fun and there really is nothing better than fresh pasta. Of course she had the pasta maker that just rolls out your dough and cuts it, but the one I want makes your dough too, and you can make not only spaghetti or fettuccine with it, but penne and different shapes and sizes. I know, too much?
How To Make Cheesy Beef Tortellini Enchilada Casserole
Back to this yummy dish here. It’s simple right? All you need to do is cook the beef then toss it together with the tortellini and the enchilada sauce. I used store bought enchilada sauce but if you make your own enchilada sauce then by all means, use that. While this may not be a super figure friendly dish, it sure is comforting.
Now that’s a nice plate of piping hot cheesy enchilada tortellini. Yum!
