I made this cheesy tortellini pizza casserole for a group of friends who came to visit. I served these with homemade garlic bread, a recipe I got from my mother. And in no time at all, the serving dish was empty! They said it was rich, but at the same time it tasted really great that before they knew it, they just wanted more!
One of our friends over at Wonky Wonderful has this to say about the recipe:
“This dish is all about The Cheese. The sauce is made with Velveeta and a three cheeses blend. It is topped with shredded mozzarella cheese for that melty top. And I serve it with powdered parmesan cheese (like the kind you get with you pizza) . . . because that is how we do it at my house! MORE CHEESE, PLEASE!!!“
I don’t think any body can say no to a mouthwatering cheesy dish such as this! Enjoy!
