The nicest part about this major dish is that it cooks in one pot and comes together in under an hour. If desired, serve with warm garlic bread and a fresh green salad.

Reviews
This was wonderful. Its almost like a tortellini lasagna.
I made this in a cast iron Dutch oven. I drained the grease off of the ground beef and sautéed fresh garlic instead of granulated. I used two pint jars (32oz total) of homemade cherry tomato sauce. Served it with a side salad, garlic bread would be great with it as well. This recipe is an excellent starting point and easily customizable. The next time I make it, I’ll incorporate chopped onions and bell peppers. Everyone got seconds and my husband ate it for breakfast this morning.
