Main Ingredients
- 1 pound beef steak, thinly sliced
- 1 package (9 ounces) cheese tortellini, refrigerated or frozen
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (use a mix of colors for visual appeal)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 6 ounces provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients. Thinly slice the beef steak, bell peppers, and onion. Measure out the tortellini, beef broth, and provolone cheese for easy assembly.
- Combine in Slow Cooker. Add the sliced beef steak, sliced bell peppers, onion, cheese tortellini, and beef broth into the crock pot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the beef is tender and the tortellini is cooked through.
- Add Cheese. About 15 minutes before the end of cooking, layer the provolone cheese on top to melt and become gooey and delicious.
- Serve. Once the cheese is melted and everything is tender, give the mixture a gentle stir, then serve hot as a comforting and cheesy main dish.
Notes
- Use frozen tortellini for convenience, but adjust cooking time slightly if needed.
- For extra flavor, you can add minced garlic or Italian seasoning before cooking.
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella or fontina cheese if preferred.
- If the dish is too liquidy at the end, cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
