Cook's Notes

*OP’s notes: I’ve used tortellini in this recipe too. You can just add the tortellini without pre-cooking it at all. *Sandy’s (Bettyinthekitchen) Notes for Stove top Preparation: Brown the meat in a large skillet, add sauce, tomatoes, oregano, garlic powder, salt & pepper, oil, sugar & stir well. Simmer on low heat for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld. Add the cooked pasta and cheese, serve
