This Broccoli Cheese Tortellini Bake filled a void I never knew I had. My wife and I easily get tired of eating the same kind of food all the time. You would think that as a publisher of a food blog that would not be a problem.
Like most casserole recipes like this one, they are super easy to make. This recipe has a little more prep work though compared to some other dishes.
This one requires you to cook the tortellini ahead of time. You also need to plan as you need to give yourself enough time to let the frozen broccoli unthaw before adding it to the casserole dish.
When it comes to the red bell pepper, you can use whatever color you want. As you know each color of bell pepper has a slightly different taste to them. When possible, I like to use a yellow or orange bell pepper.
On a couple of occasions, I only had one small can of cream of chicken soup so I used a can of cream of cheddar soup to get the full 20 ounces needed for this recipe. Like I always say, use what you got!
