Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef boneless round steak
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 jar (26 ounces) tomato pasta sauce (any variety)
  • 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise into slices (about 1 cup)

  • 2
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours.
  • 3
    About 20 minutes before serving, stir in tortellini and zucchini. Increase heat setting to High. Cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes or until tortellini are tender.

  • You can use yellow summer squash instead of the zucchini.
  • Cut the beef into pieces of same size so that it cooks to the same doneness and tenderness.
  • Fresh-baked soft breadsticks and Caesar salad in a bag carry out the Italian theme of this meal.
