Crockpot Tortellini Lasagna By Kelly Miller • September20,2012 • Updated February 1, 2022 • 17 Comments 5.8K 99 Jump to Recipe Crockpot Tortellini Lasagna recipe made with frozen cheese tortellini, tomato sauce, ground beef, fresh spinach leaves, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. The entire family loves this slow cooker dinner! So, are you getting sick of all the slow cooker recipes around here? I hope not! Crockpot season is in full swing, people. And I for one LOVE it. This meal takes a little bit more thought because you need some cooked ground beef, but that’s about all the pre-planning required. Don’t even worry about thawing the tortellini, it goes in frozen – how cool is that?! You also get to sneak in about 2 cups of fresh spinach and I promise, your kids (or husband) won’t know the difference. 🙂 How to make this recipe: First step, brown ground beef in large skillet, drain. Add onion, garlic, and spaghetti sauce. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until you really start smelling the garlic. Remove from heat and stir in spinach and ricotta. Spoon 1/3 of the meat sauce on the bottom of slow cooker. Top with 1/2 package of tortellini. Repeat layers, ending with meat sauce on top. Sprinkle mozzarella. Cook on low 3-4 hours. Looking for me Italian dishes in the Crockpot?
