Two types of meat pair well with tortellini, cheese, marinara sauce and mushrooms. Buon appetito!

Italian sausage usually is available in both mild and spicy flavors. If your family likes a little heat with their food, use the spicy Italian sausage.

Family loved this - used 1 lb of hot italian sausage rather than 1/2 and 1/2 and cooked with onion and garlic. Nice change from the usual slow cooker dinners.

Ten years ago I found this exact recipe in one of those Betty Crocker Slow Cooker cookbook/magazine you find at the store checkout, and I have made it for Christmas Eve dinner every since then. It's super easy to throw together in the morning before things get crazy; and you can't imagine how nice it is to come home from church in the evening and have this wonderful, warm bowl of awesomeness waiting for you. So comforting, with very little fuss. I make sure to get spinach tortellini because it looks so festive with the red sauce, and I've always used turkey sausage in place of what's called for. So delicious! I'd give it 10 spoons if I could.
