Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s walk through the steps to create the Irresistible Beefy Tortellini Bake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add Seasonings: Stir in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Mix well.
4. Cook Tortellini: In a separate pot, cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, marinara sauce, cooked tortellini, and ricotta cheese. Stir gently until everything is evenly mixed.
6. Layer the Bake: Spread half of the tortellini mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Then, sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Add Remaining Mixture: Pour the remaining tortellini mixture on top of the first layer and top it off with the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish: Once baked, garnish with fresh basil before serving for a touch of color and flavor.
