03 -
2.5 g ground black pepper
04 -
5 g onion powder
05 -
5 g Italian seasoning
06 -
15 g minced garlic
07 -
680 g marinara sauce
08 -
540 g frozen tortellini

115 g cream cheese

35 g mini pepperoni
11 -
100 g shredded mozzarella cheese

# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring frequently, until thoroughly browned. Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning during cooking.
02 -
Add mini pepperoni to the browned beef and cook until the edges are lightly crisped. Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
03 -
Pour marinara sauce into the skillet. Add cream cheese in pieces. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and sauce is homogeneous.
04 -
Add the frozen tortellini directly to the skillet. Stir to coat well, cover, and allow to simmer over medium-low heat for approximately 5 minutes or until the pasta is tender and cooked through.
05 -
Evenly distribute mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the tortellini mixture. Arrange extra mini pepperoni on top if desired. Broil under a hot grill for 2–3 minutes, or cover and let rest on low heat until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
# Notes:
01 -
Freshly shredded cheese yields a smoother melt compared to pre-shredded varieties.
02 -
For optimal flavor, ensure each tortellini is thoroughly enveloped in the sauce.
