One of my fave recipes to make on busy days! Comes together quick and tastes great!

If there’s one thing I adore about fall, it’s the comfort food that comes with it. Slow Cooker Cheesy Tortellini is a family favorite in our house. It’s perfect for those hectic weekdays when you’re juggling work, kids, and everything else life throws at you. This dish is creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-satisfying, making it a go-to dinner when we want something indulgent yet easy to prepare. Plus, who doesn’t love the convenience of a slow cooker? Just set it and forget it!
This tortellini pairs beautifully with a simple green salad tossed in balsamic vinaigrette. It also goes great with garlic bread or a crusty baguette to soak up all that cheesy goodness. For a touch of freshness, consider adding steamed veggies like broccoli or green beans on the side.
