This tortellini with marinara sauce is an easy, cheesy slow cooker dish. Make it once, and I bet you'll make it once a month. It's a family favorite.
Ingredients:
½ pound ground beef
½ pound italian sausage, casings removed
1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated or fresh cheese tortellini
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and Italian sausage in the hot skillet until crumbly and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Combine ground meats, marinara sauce, tomatoes, and mushrooms in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours.
Stir tortellini into marinara meat sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Cheddar cheese. Cover and cook on Low until tortellini is tender, about 15 more minutes.
