A very simple slow cooker recipe that tastes great! Also makes a great leftover hot lunch. Add more or less cheese based on your preferences, or exchange the ground beef for turkey or sausage.
Ingredients:
1/2 Pound ground beef
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.

This is happening. I grew up on tortellini and leftovers are the bomb for lunches.
