Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz tortellini
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup ground beef, cooked
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook Tortellini: Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain well.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooked tortellini, marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, crumbled cooked sausage, chopped cooked bacon, cooked ground beef, and Italian seasoning until evenly combined.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.

Notes

  • Use pre-cooked sausage, bacon, and ground beef for quicker preparation.
  • Substitute mozzarella with a blend of mozzarella and provolone for extra cheesy flavor.
  • For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or use spicy pepperoni.
  • If desired, garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving for a fresh touch.
  • This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
