Recipes like Slow Cooker Cheesy Tortellini save my life! All I have to do is throw everything in the slow cooker, wait a few hours and dig into this divinely comforting pasta!

Slow Cooker Cheesy Tortellini is the ultimate in comfort food without all the fuss! That's how I have to live my life!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

Let’s face the facts. Sometimes, Mom’s don’t feel like cooking. Other days, Mom’s don’t have time to cook. That’s why every Mom needs a few good “throw it in the slow cooker and leave it” meal options. If you ask me, there is no such thing as too many of those. That’s why I’m sharing another fix and forget with you today!

Pay close attention or you will miss the instructions.

Slow Cooker Spaghetti SauceThrow almost everything in the slow cooker. (I did this right before church)

Let it cook in the slow cooker. (This happened while I was at church)

Slow Cooker TortelliniAdd tortellini and cheese. (I did this as soon as I got home from church)

Slow Cooker Tortellini is so easy and yummy!

Let it cook for 15-20 minutes. (I raced the clock to see if I could change my clothes and set the table before the 20 minutes was over)

That’s it!

Recipes like this save my life! Add everything to the slow cooker and a few hours later, dig in to the comfort of extra cheesy tortellini!  Little Dairy on the Prairie

Sometimes I wish I was one of those Moms that made a huge Sunday dinner of roast beef, mashed potatoes, homemade rolls and pie. Then I remember how much I love my Sunday afternoon nap. I guess I love it even more than eating a big Sunday dinner. At my house it’s a race to see how fast we can get from church, into our PJs, dinner served and cleaned up and in our beds. That’s why we eat quick Sunday dinners like Slow Cooker Cheesy Tortellini! Nobody at my house complains about yummy food like this anyway! I’ll save the roast beef for Monday night’s dinner! Here’s to happy napping!

    Pasta is always a fun thing to make and eat. Putting it in the crock pot is an excellent idea. I love Sunday afternoon naps too. Even my Mom took a nap every Sunday afternoon, and now I a wishing I had cashed in on more of them while living at home.

    I made this for Sunday dinner yesterday and it was SO GOOD! I substituted Italian sausage for ground beef and used frozen cheese ravioli because they were on sale, but the seasoning was just perfect, which I’ve noticed is the case with all of your recipes!

    I will definitely be making this one! Do use the green container of Parmesan cheese or the shredded kind. I’m guessing the shredded kind but thought I’d ask!!

      Sometimes I use the green container and sometimes I use shredded. I like shredded better, but in a pinch I use the green container “stuff”. Good luck!
