~adapted from a recipe in a Taste of Home Ground Beef cookbook~
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 jar (24 oz.) marinara sauce
1 can Italian diced tomatoes
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 package (19 oz.) refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
*I used a spaghetti sauce with mushrooms instead of adding the fresh mushrooms.
Cook sausage and beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the marinara sauce, tomatoes and mushrooms. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until heated through. Prepare tortellini according to package directions; stir into meat mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
