Ingredients
1 package cheese-stuffed tortellini, cooked
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cups whole milk
1 tsp dry Italian seasoning
2 cups Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded cheese blend (mozzarella-based)
½ cup quartered pepperoni
1 cup pizza sauce
20 slices pepperoni
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium pot, sauté garlic in olive oil over medium heat until golden and fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add milk and Italian seasoning, heat until steaming but not boiling.
Reduce heat to low and stir in Velveeta and shredded cheese blend. Mix until melted and smooth.
Add cooked tortellini and quartered pepperoni to the cheese sauce. Stir to coat.
Transfer to a greased baking dish. Swirl pizza sauce on top—don’t mix fully.
Top with remaining pepperoni slices and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
Broil on high for 3–4 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use room-temperature cheese for smoother melting.
Don’t overcook the tortellini—just until tender.
Customize with toppings like fresh basil, red pepper flakes, or extra Parmesan.
This casserole reheats well and can be made ahead.
