Equipment
- Crockpot
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage browned and drained (or ground beef)
- 1 24-ounce jar marinara or spaghetti sauce
- 1 8-ounce block cream cheese cubed and softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 24 ounces dried cheese tortellini

Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, half of the mozzarella, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Lightly spray your slow cooker with nonstick spray.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the bottom of the crockpot.
- Add half of the uncooked tortellini in an even layer.
- Spoon half of the creamy cheese mixture over the tortellini and spread it out gently.
- Top with half of the browned sausage, then pour half of the remaining marinara sauce over the top.
- Repeat the layers — tortellini, creamy cheese mixture, sausage, and marinara — just like a lasagna.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and all of the Parmesan evenly over the top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or until the tortellini are tender and everything is hot, melty, and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and basil before serving for a fresh, colorful finish.
