Foodie Finds

It's no surprise around here that I rarely share a recipe (or a how-to / DIY). Mostly because when I cook a fun new meal I forget to take pictures. That is not the case this time, ladies and gents! Last weekend my step mom shared this recipe. Looks good, right? So of course I had to try it. *Note: it makes a LOT!*

(professionally called Crockpot Cheese Tortellini)
What the recipe calls for:

1 bag of frozen tortellini

1 small bag of fresh spinach

2 cans of italian style diced tomatoes

1 box of chicken broth

1 package of cream cheese

1 lb. sausage

What I actually used:

1 24 oz bag frozen egg noodles (because Walmart doesn't have frozen tortellini??)

3/4 of a small bag of fresh spinach

2 cans Italian style diced tomatoes

1 box Chicken broth

1 package of cream cheese

1 lb Italian seasoned sausage

What you need to do: 

Brown the sausage in one of your finest skillets

Add all of the ingredients (except for the cream cheese) to the crock pot

Cut the cream cheese into cubes (this makes it easier to mix)

Add the cream cheese to the crock pot

Mix, Cover, and cook on low for 5-6 hours

Enjoy!

See? So easy right? I'm telling y'all it was amazing, too! Hubby had seconds, the kids enjoyed it (hidden veggies, y'all!). This is definitely a recipe that I recommend. And it doesn't have to be tortellini (obviously).  I literally didn't have to add any extra seasoning or salt, or garlic. I went back and forth in the store for which sausage I should buy... in the end, I think the Itaillian was a great choice because, Holy Yum Batman!

 

Do you have any crock pot recipes to share? Tis the season!
