Ingredients:  
1 package frozen cheese tortellini
EVOO
1 onion, chopped
8 fresh garlic cloves, chopped (I know, I'm ridiculous with my garlic)
1lb ground beef
salt & pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
32oz chicken broth, I bought a 64oz box and used a little extra for juicyness.
1 15oz can chili beans
1 15oz can red kidney beans
1 15oz can Rotel
2 T cumin
2 T chili powder
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions:
Directions:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat EVOO then add onions and garlic. Cook until translucent and push to the side. Add beef and cook until browned. Mix onions in with beef, then add all remaining ingredients, including frozen tortellini. Chicken broth should be enough to just cover noodles, although I stirred mine frequently and pushed the tortellini down because they kept floating to the top. Bring to a boil, then cook for 10 minutes or until tortellini is cooked and liquid is at desired level.

I added more broth because I like it juicy.

My tortellini package said to boil for 5 minutes, but I let it all cook for 15 minutes and the tortellini was not over-cooked.

I ate these leftovers all week long, and they were phenomenal. This is one of those recipes that gets better as it sits!
