# Instructions:

01 - Thinly slice 1 large yellow onion, 1 green bell pepper, and 1 red bell pepper. Mince 2 cloves garlic. If using sirloin, thinly slice 1 1/2 lbs beef. This initial preparation ensures your Crock Pot Cheesesteak Tortellini - Easy Slow Cooker Meal cooks evenly and develops maximum flavor.
02 - Place 1 1/2 lbs shaved beef steak (or sliced sirloin), the sliced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and minced garlic into a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste. Pour in 3 cups beef broth.
03 - Stir all ingredients well to combine. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded. This slow cooking process creates the rich, flavorful base for your Crock Pot Cheesesteak Tortellini - Easy Slow Cooker Meal.
04 - After the initial cooking time, add 8 oz softened cream cheese to the slow cooker. Stir gently until the cream cheese is fully melted and smoothly incorporated into the sauce, creating a rich and creamy texture.
05 - Add 16 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini, 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese, and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese to the slow cooker. Stir everything together gently. Cover and cook on LOW for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
06 - Stir in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Garnish your Crock Pot Cheesesteak Tortellini - Easy Slow Cooker Meal with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley before serving hot. Enjoy this comforting and easy slow cooker meal!

# Notes:

01 - For a deeper flavor, consider quickly browning the shaved beef and sautéing the vegetables in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker.
02 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or milk if needed.
03 - Serve this hearty dish with a simple side salad or some crusty bread to soak up all the delicious, cheesy sauce.
04 - Feel free to adjust the cheese blend to your preference; a sharp cheddar or white American cheese can also be delicious additions.
