Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook Tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt Butter from Sauce ingredients over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in Milk from Sauce ingredients until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Stir in Salt and Pepper.
Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar Cheese from Sauce ingredients until melted and smooth.
Combine cooked Tortellini with the cheese sauce.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine Bread Crumbs and Melted Butter from Topping ingredients. Sprinkle over the tortellini.
