1

package (9 oz) refrigerated three-cheese tortellini

3/4

cup water

1/3

cup all-purpose flour

1

cup light beer

1/3

cup sliced green onions with tops

3

tablespoons chili sauce

2

teaspoons ground mustard

1/2

1

package (14 oz) cooked kielbasa or other smoked sausage, cut diagonally into 1-inch-thick slices

1 1/2

cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 oz)

Preparation

Fill 12-inch nonstick skillet half full with water (about 6 cups). Heat to boiling. Add tortellini; cook uncovered minimum time as directed on bag, stirring occasionally. Drain.

In 1-cup measuring cup, stir 3/4 cup water and the flour with whisk until smooth; pour into same skillet. Stir in beer, green onions, chili sauce, mustard and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 1 minute, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Gently fold in tortellini and kielbasa. Cover; cook over medium-low heat about 5 minutes or until kielbasa is hot.

Fold in cheese, 1/2 cup at a time, until melted. Remove from heat; top with roasted peppers.
