    cheeseburger tortellini skillet

    This scrumptious tortellini skillet is one of those meals that your family will beg you to make again and again!

    Skillet meals are essential for busy weeknights and this one is extra-extra amazing because you can make the base of it ahead of time and freeze it! This works really well if you’re working on a batch of freezer meals – this one is a perfect addition to your next freezer meal prep sesh.

    For the tortellini, you can use fresh or frozen – either one will work. If you’re cooking it from frozen, it will only take just a few extra minutes to thaw and swell up!

    Enjoy!
