Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound mild Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 (24) oz jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (4) oz can sliced mushrooms

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Crumble the ground beef and Italian sausage together in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until browned. Drain.
  2. Combine the ground meats, marinara sauce, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a slow cooker. Cover, and cook on LOW heat for 6 to 8 hours.
  3. Stir in the tortellini, and sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top. Cover and cook for 15 more minutes on LOW, or until the tortellini is tender.

Notes

  • Adapted from: Allrecipes
  • I use a six quart crockpot to cook this recipe, but it will work for a larger size crockpot as well. If you have a larger size pot, you could also double the recipe.
  • Feel free to replace the canned mushrooms with fresh mushrooms, or leave them out altogether if mushrooms aren't your thing!
  • If you like more noodles, you can use a larger package of tortellini (19 oz). I actually use the larger size pretty often since my kids like more noodles!
  • You can use frozen or dry tortellini in place of the fresh tortellini. Frozen tortellini takes about the same amount of time to cook as the refrigerated tortellini in the original recipe. For dry tortellini you will need to add extra time, about 10-20 more minutes.
