Ingredients

• 16 ounces Cheese Stuffed Tortellini – cooked according to package instructions
• 2 Garlic Cloves – chopped
• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 2 Cups Whole Milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Dry Italian Seasoning
• 8 ounces Original Velveeta Cheese – cubed
• 2 Cups Shredded Cheese Blend (includes mozzarella, like an Italian blend)
• 2 ounces Pepperoni – quartered
• 1/2 Cup Pizza Sauce
• Sliced Pepperoni – for topping
• 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Start by prepping and measuring all ingredients for a seamless cooking experience. In a 3-quart pot over medium heat, sauté the chopped garlic in olive oil for 1 minute until golden. Add whole milk and Italian seasoning, stirring until the milk begins to steam. Reduce the heat, then add cubed Velveeta and shredded cheese blend, mixing until fully melted. Turn off the heat, add the cooked tortellini and quartered pepperoni, and stir for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Dollop pizza sauce on top and gently swirl it into the tortellini without fully mixing. Layer sliced pepperoni on top, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered on the center rack for 25 minutes, then broil on high for 3-4 minutes to achieve a golden-brown crust. Serve hot and enjoy this cheesy, pepperoni-packed delight!
