Tortellini Chili Bake

from Company's Coming - Simple Suppers cookbook


Ingredients:


1 Can of diced tomatoes (or 2 Cups chopped fresh tomato)
2 C Tomato juice
2 C of chili (if using leftover chili) but the recipe used a can of chili, so you can do that as well
1 1/3 C chopped green bell pepper
1/4 C finely chopped onion
1/4 C Cream Cheese, cut up
1 package of refrigerated beef or cheese filled tortellini (12-16 oz)



Combine first six ingredients in greased 2 quart casserole.
Add tortellini. Stir gently. Bake, covered in 425 degree F oven for about 45 minutes. Stir once at the halfway point, bake until tortellini is tender but firm. Makes about 8 cups.

This was something my husband picked out of one of the many cookbooks around here (when I asked that he come up with just one dinner idea out of 2 weeks worth of dinners, lol)....it was actually pretty darn tasty!
