Ingredients
  

  • 19 oz bag tortellini
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 t minced garlic
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ c bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions
 

  • Chop onion. Now’s the time to cook the bacon if you haven’t already, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook 3 min, until floating. Drain and set aside.
  • In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, cook ground beef, garlic, and onion until no longer pink, breaking meat apart. Drain grease (into the trash, not down the sink).
  • Stir in cooked tortellini, diced tomatoes, ⅔ of cheese, and ⅔ of bacon.
  • Top with remaining cheese and bacon. Cover and cook for about 5 min, until cheese is melted. This creates a nice topping.
