Italian Cheese Tortellini
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 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
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat a substantial pan over high heat to initiate the cooking process. Cook and constantly stir ground beef and Italian sausage in the hot pan until it becomes crumbly and has a rich brown color, approximately 10 minutes. Discard the excess.
2
Combine ground meats, marinara sauce, tomatoes, and mushrooms in a large cooking vessel designed for slow cooking. Cover the container and cook on Low heat setting for 7 to 8 hours.
3
Add tortellini to the marinara meat sauce mixture. Sprinkle with a blend of mozzarella and Cheddar cheese. Cover the container again and cook on Low heat setting until tortellini is tender, around 15 additional minutes.
