- 1 lb beef steak, thinly sliced
- 1 (20 oz) package cheese tortellini, frozen or fresh
- 1 large bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 6 oz provolone cheese, sliced or shredded
Instructions

- Add Ingredients to Crock Pot: Place the sliced beef, bell peppers, onions, cheese tortellini, and beef broth into the slow cooker. Stir lightly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Cook Until Tender: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the beef is tender and the tortellini is cooked through.

Notes
- You can vary the bell pepper colors for a more vibrant dish.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the beef broth to 1 1/2 cups.
- Use fresh tortellini to reduce cooking time, adjusting accordingly to avoid overcooking.
- For extra flavor, season with salt, pepper, or Italian herbs to taste before cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated gently.
