Main Ingredients
- 2 cups beef (sliced steak or cooked ground beef)
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup onions, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 package tortellini (cheese or meat-filled)

Instructions
Preparation
- Add beef, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms to the crock pot, spreading them evenly.
- Spoon in the cream cheese pieces and pour the beef broth over the top to soften the cream cheese.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the beef is tender and vegetables are softened.
- About 15 minutes before serving, add tortellini and shredded cheese, stirring to combine so the pasta finishes cooking in the hot sauce.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper before serving warm.
Notes
This dish is versatile: swap the cheese, add heat, or use low-fat versions for a lighter meal. Serve garnished with parsley or basil.
