Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb beef steak, thinly sliced
Pasta
- 1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini, refrigerated or frozen
Vegetables
- 1 large bell pepper, sliced (red, green, or mix)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
Liquids & Broth
- 2 cups beef broth
Cheese
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Thinly slice the beef steak, and slice the bell peppers and onion into strips to ensure even cooking.
- Combine in Slow Cooker: Add the sliced beef, bell peppers, onion, and cheese tortellini into the crock pot. Pour in the beef broth evenly over the ingredients.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the beef is tender and the tortellini is cooked through.
- Add Cheese: About 10 minutes before serving, layer the provolone slices on top, cover again, and allow the cheese to melt completely.
- Serve: Gently stir to combine melted cheese with the mixture and serve warm for a creamy, flavorful dish.
Notes
- You can substitute beef steak with thinly sliced chicken or pork if desired.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Using frozen tortellini is convenient but adjust cooking time slightly to ensure pasta is fully cooked.
- Adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes gives a nice hint of heat.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
