     1 Jar marinara sauce
     1 Can italian-style diced tomatoes
     2 Carrots, diced
     1 package refrigerated or frozen cheese tortellini
     1/2 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
     1/2 Cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions: 
     1. Brown ground beef in large skillet.

     2. Add all ingredients EXCEPT the tortellini in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-5 hours. 

     3. Add tortellini to slow cooker about 30minutes- 1hour (based on it being refrigerated or frozen) before you are ready to eat. When tortellini is cooked through- do not overcook!- add cheeses and stir well. Serve or refrigerate leftovers immediately.
