Crock Pot Cheesesteak Tortellini

A comforting dish that combines the rich flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak with tender cheese tortellini in a creamy sauce, perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds shaved beef steak (ribeye, sirloin, or ground beef)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 3 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or provolone
  • 20 ounces cheese tortellini, fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef (Optional): Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shaved beef until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer to a crock pot.
  2. Layer Ingredients in Crock Pot: Add sliced onions, bell peppers, optional mushrooms, beef broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until beef and vegetables are tender.
  4. Make the Sauce Creamy: Stir in softened cream cheese until melted and smooth, then add shredded mozzarella and mix well.
  5. Add Tortellini: Stir in tortellini during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking.
  6. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle additional cheese on top and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, stick closely to the cooking times. Add tortellini during the last half hour to avoid mushiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
