Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

2. Slice onion and all bell peppers. Keep slices moderately thick to retain texture.

3. In the Crock Pot, layer ground beef, onions, and peppers. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

4. Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth over the mixture. Do not stir.

5. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2.5–3 hours.

6. Add the tortellini 30 minutes before the end of cooking. Stir gently and re-cover.

7. Top with shredded cheese, cover again, and let melt for 10 minutes.

8. Gently stir, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

1. Always add the tortellini at the end to avoid overcooking and mushiness.

2. For the best cheese melt, use freshly shredded provolone or mozzarella.

3. You can swap the ground beef with shredded chicken for a twist on flavor.
