 Adding cheese stuffed pasta to an already tasty dish like chili is a fabulous idea and I could
not resist making it! In addition to being super tasty, this chili tortellini is easy to make, it only takes about 30 minutes and it's made in one pot! You pretty much just need to cook the onions, brown the meat, throw everything in the pot and simmer until the tortellini is ready! This chili is perfect for a quick work night meal and a great way to enjoy some tortellini! 

Feel free to serve the chili tortellini topped with your favourite toppings like sour cream or greek yogurt and cheese.
