Easy Slow Cooker Tortellini Lasagna

When Greg and I went shopping a couple weeks ago at Costco he plunked a double package of the refrigerated tortellini into our shopping cart. I wasn’t sad. I knew that I could use the tortellini to make my popular Tortellini, Spinach and Chicken Soup, many other 365 Days favorites or I could use it to create a new recipe. I ended up using both packages for new recipes. The first recipe didn’t turn out well enough to go on the blog but the second recipe (this one!) was so delicious!

This slow cooker tortellini lasagna recipe takes the tasty flavors of lasagna and then deletes all those time-intensive layers. The hands-on prep time is so minimal.

What if I want to use frozen tortellini? I haven’t tried this yet. However I think it would taste amazing. I would probably go with the same amount of cooking time.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?

To make Easy Slow Cooker Tortellini Lasagna I used my I used my Ninja Auto-iQ 6 Quart Slow Cooker.* My favorite feature of this slow cooker is that it has a stove top function. This is perfect browning the ground sausage before you slow cook.
