Crockpot Cheese Tortellini

(This recipe was originally posted in conjunction with the Meijer ad week of 3/17/13 - 3/23/13)

As our kids get older, the after-school hours get busier for them, and therefore, for me!  Homework, piano lessons, catechism, soccer practices and games, and more make those hours between school and supper fly by.  As a result, I've been relying on my crockpot more often.  This recipe was billed as "the best Pinterest recipe I've ever made!" so I figured it would be good!  My family really enjoyed it (although this one is still our favorite Pinterest recipe!), spinach and all.  It literally takes 10 minutes to throw everything together, and then it cooks in the crockpot all day!  The flavorful combination of ingredients was a hit, and the only time I put into making food near suppertime was to make Easy Garlic Bread.  Head over to the Little Fellows blog to check out this delicious recipe...and then come back here to read my tweaks, tips, and tricks!
