Tortellini Chili

I loved that this recipe was easy to prepare and was pretty delicious. It had more of a soup consistency to it than chili, but it was still good.  AND it made me decide that next time I make my lasagna soup, instead of noodles I am going to use tortellini. YUM! 

1 lb. tortellini

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic

1 lb. ground beef

32 ounces chicken broth

15 oz can rotel

1 can red beans

1 can black beans

2 tablespoons ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Cook tortellini according to package directions.  Pour olive oil in a pan and add in onions and garlic. Saute for a few minutes.  Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain beef and tortellini.  In a large pot mix meat, broth, tomatoes, beans, cumin, garlic salt, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir in tortellini.  Heat for 10 minutes until hot.
