Method
Load the Crock Pot
- Place sliced beef, bell peppers, onions, and garlic into your slow cooker.
- Season with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in the beef broth to keep everything moist during cooking.
Slow Cook Until Tender
- Cook on low for 5–6 hours or high for 2½–3 hours until the beef becomes tender and the vegetables soften.
- This long, slow cook develops deep, savory flavor.
Add Cream Cheese & Dairy
- Once the beef is fully cooked, add the cream cheese cubes.
- Stir gently to help them melt into the broth.
- Pour in heavy cream and sprinkle in shredded provolone and Parmesan.
- Let the mixture melt together into a creamy, silky sauce.
Add Tortellini
- Stir in the cheese tortellini.
- Cook on high for 20–30 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and fully coated in sauce.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Finish & Serve
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Serve warm and enjoy the ultimate cheesesteak-inspired comfort meal.
