Recipe for Slow Cooker Tortellini Lasagna Casserole #easydinner #slowcookerrecipe #crockpot
 
Easy and very family friendly.  My kids loved this dish and didn’t even notice the spinach or mushrooms.  You could swap out the tortellini with frozen raviolis if you prefer.  I was also thinking that adding some red bell pepper would give it a flavor boost.  I made a lot so we could have leftovers but I never saw the leftovers because they were gone so quick.

    Please can you tell me if this recipe can be broken down so that it serves 1, I recently bought a 1.5kg slow cooker and am struggling to find a recipe that is for 1 person ? I live alone and am not the best at cooking, hence the need for a slow cooker. Thanks.

      I would cut it into thirds and then you’ll get two servings out of it. One for tonight and one for another night (it freezes fine or store in fridge for up to 5 days). I would cut cooking time down to 2 hours.

    I found this dish to be a little devoid of flavor, and added the following (lots of it!) to make it taste more like lasagna:
    Basil
    Oregano
    Rosemary
    Coriander
    Next time, I think I will also try spicy Italian sausage instead of plain.

    Melissa, I don't have a ton of experience with freezer meals but I think that would probably work! Let me know how it turns out 🙂

    I am making this now(found on pinterest)…it's in the crockpot! Sounds yummy. Was just thinking due to the prep work needed before putting it in the crockpot, this would be a great freezer meal! Bundle the ziploc of the sausage mixture with the bag of frozen tortellini, and just dethaw before assembling in the crockpot. Anybody see any reason this wouldn't freeze okay?
