Add both to the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the frozen (not thawed and not cooked) tortellini on top. Toss everything to combine.
• SAUCE: Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small pot over medium heat. Once melted, gradually add in flour, while whisking constantly, until a thick paste forms. Whisk for one minute to cook out the raw flour taste and then gradually add in 1/3 cup of the milk while whisking constantly. Gradually add 1/3 cup chicken stock or broth while continuing to whisk. Add in another 1/3 cup milk, another 1/3 cup stock, last remaining 1/3 cup milk, and last remaining 1/3 cup stock. Whisk after each addition until completely smooth and sauce is thickened. Add in 1 cup of sharp Cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and whisk until completely smooth. Add in sour cream and whisk again until smooth. Stir in the chicken bouillon powder, Dijon mustard, dried parsley, garlic powder, granulated onion, and salt and pepper to taste. (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; add to taste preference -- the Parmesan cheese does add a good amount of saltiness as well.)
• ASSEMBLE AND BAKE: Pour the sauce over everything in the casserole dish and toss ingredients to coat evenly. Make sure the tortellini is covered with the sauce. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over top of the casserole. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
