Tortellini Taco Bake


He wanted taco's, I wanted Pasta...  A marriage is about meeting halfway, so behold the Tortellini Taco Bake! 



Ingredients
1/2 package of cream cheese, softened
2 cups of taco cheese
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 lb ground beef
12oz (ish) of cheese tortellini

Directions
Brown your beef in a frying pan. When complete add taco seasoning (follow direction on back of taco seasoning)
Add your tortellini to a large pot of boiling water. Cook until your tortellini's starts to float, then drain water. 
In a large mixing bowl add your cream cheese and 1 cup of your taco cheese. Mix together.
Once you meat is finished add to the bowl of cheese. Mix together well. The heat of the meat will start to melt the cheese.
After your meat and cheese is mixed together, add your tortellini and slowly fold into the mixture. The tortellini  might be a little fragile so fold carefully. 
Once everything is mixed together, pour into a baking dish and add the remaining 1 cup of taco cheese to the top. 
Cover with foil and cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, remove foil and put back in oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until your cheese started to brown.
