In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with a little garlic, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
Remove the excess grease from the beef and mix with a 24 ounce jar of tomato sauce. Add the cream cheese to the mixture and allow it to melt. Stir well and then gently toss your cooked tortellini into the pan.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish and then top with shredded mozzarella and grated or shredded parmesan cheese.
Bake in the center rack of a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes and then bake for an additional 2-3 minutes with the broiler on.
