Every so often I have one of those evenings where its nearly dinner time and I haven’t given our meal any prep or sometime any thought. (who are we kidding, that’s most nights these days :)) Insert this lifesaver…Sausage & Tortellini Bake! I actually first came across this recipe on a post thread of one of my friends asking for easy freezer meals. I instantly checked it out as freezer meals become a staple at my house during busy seasons. The original recipe was meatless so I added in some mild ground sausage and it was a hit. Quick and delicious.
