Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Beef & Vegetables
  • 1 lb shaved beef or thinly sliced steak
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1–1½ cups shredded provolone
  • Optional: ½ cup shredded cheddar
  • Pasta
  • 1 bag (19–20 oz) cheese tortellini

Method
 

  1. Before You Begin
  2. Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
  3. Add Ingredients
  4. Place beef, peppers, and onions into slow cooker. Sprinkle seasonings evenly.
  5. Add Liquid & Cream Cheese
  6. Pour broth and Worcestershire sauce over ingredients. Place cream cheese block on top.
  7. Slow Cook
  8. Cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for about 3 hours, until the beef is fully cooked, tender when tested with a fork, and no longer pink. Stir once halfway through cooking if possible to distribute ingredients evenly.
  9. Make Sauce
  10. Stir until cream cheese fully melts and forms a smooth sauce. Add shredded provolone and optional cheddar. Stir gently.
  11. Add Tortellini
  12. Add tortellini and cook on HIGH 15–25 minutes until pasta is tender when bitten and heated through. Check after 10 minutes to prevent overcooking.
  13. Serve
  14. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Slice beef thinly so it cooks evenly and reaches safe doneness.
  • Add tortellini near the end of cooking to prevent overcooking.
  • Stir occasionally to distribute heat and ingredients evenly.
  • Ensure beef is fully cooked and no longer pink before serving.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and reheat until hot throughout.
