Crock Pot Sausage & Cheese Tortellini

1 lb. Italian Sausage (We use HOT for the spice, but sub in the meat you’d like best!)

20 oz. Frozen Three-Cheese Tortellini (The Buitoni kind is in the specialty refrigerated case in the deli area of the grocery store. I pop them right in the freezer when I get home.)

32 oz. Low Sodium Chicken Broth

2 Cans Diced Tomatoes – The kind that are seasoned with basil, garlic & oregano. If you don’t have the seasoned ones, you’ll need to add in your own seasonings.

8 oz. Cream Cheese or Neufchâtel Cheese – We use the low fat kind when using cream cheese.

Grated Parmesan Cheese for topping!

How to make it :

Take your cream cheese or Neufchâtel out of the fridge, and let it sit while you quickly brown your meat.

Add the sausage and tortellini to your Crock Pot. Pour the tomatoes, liquid and all, and broth over the top. Add your cream cheese to the Pot in chunks.

Give your Crock Pot a good stir to get everything evenly distributed, making sure the liquids are adequately covering the tortellini.

Cook on LOW for a total of 3 1/2 – 4 hours. Stir at 1 1/2 hours, and again at 3 hours, removing the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking. 

This will give the sauce some time to thicken up. You can leave the lid off longer if you need more thickening time, but stir every so often.

HONEY BUN COFFEE CAKE

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix

8 ounce tub sour cream

4 eggs

3/4 c. vegetable oil

1 c brown sugar

1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

2 c. powdered sugar

4 Tbsp. milk

1 Tbsp. vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 325.  Prepare 9 x 13 pan.

In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and sour cream.  

Stir by hand until large lumps are gone.  There will still be some lumps but that's ok.

Pour half the batter into the pan.

Now, in a medium bowl.  Take your brown sugar and cinnamon and combine.

Mix up your brown sugar and cinnamon really well.

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture all over the batter in the cake pan.

Don't do what I did below. Be sure to get that cinnamon mixture all the way to the edge of the pan.

Now carefully spread the other half of the batter on  top.

Don't be afraid, it's gonna get really uncomfortable.

All the batter and stuff is gonna get all mixed together and you're gonna think you are doing it all wrong.

But don't worry how it looks.  Trust me.

Once it's all spread around, take a butter knife and twirl it all through the batter, so it gets all swirly and stuff.

Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Just when it's about done baking, mix together your powdered sugar, vanilla and milk.

I always use a fork to be sure all the little clumps get broken up.

Once the cake comes out of the oven, waste no time at all.

Pour this powdered sugar mixture over the warm cake.

Now sit back and wait for the wonderful crackle to appear.

Oh that honey bun topping.

Try your hardest to wait about 15 minutes before you cut into her.

I know it's gonna be hard waiting, especially if you have a nice cup of coffee sitting there.

But once it's time, close your eyes, and see if it takes you back to your Honey Bun days.

And if you don't have any Honey Bun memories, then start those memories today, right now.

After you have browned the beef, drain it and put it into a bowl.

You can top this dish with anything that your little heart desires such as shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, more cheese, green onions, or just eat it plain and easy.

Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli

Ingredient

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of cheddar soup
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 tsp garlic powder
3/4 cup sour cream
6 cups broccoli florets, cooked
Rice, cooked



Directions:



Add the cream of chicken, cream of cheddar, chicken broth, salt, and garlic powder to the slow cooker. Stir until mixed thoroughly. Add in the chicken. Place lid on slow cooker and allow to cook on low 6-7 hours, high 3-4. Once chicken is cooked, shred with two forks. Add in sour cream and cooked broccoli. Allow to cook on low an additional 20-30 minutes. Serve over rice!

Crock Pot Breakfast Scramble

Ingredient

12 eggs
1 bag of frozen hash browns
1 16oz roll of sausage (I used Jimmy Dean HOT)
16 oz of shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup of Milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
Optional items: If I make this again, this is what I would add!
1 bell pepper (red or green)
1/2 white onion, chopped
Tabasco sauce



Directions:



Brown your sausage and set aside. If you are using the onion, go ahead and add it to the sausage while browning.
Spray the bottom of the crock pot with cooking spray and layer your hash browns on the bottom.
Shred your cheese, if not done already, and chop your bell pepper. (It looks like a lot of cheese, but it isn’t too much for the scramble)
In a medium bowl, crack your eggs and whisk them together.
Slowly add the milk and Tabasco sauce, and add in salt and pepper. A good amount of pepper is needed.
Layer the sausage on top of the hash browns, then the bell pepper, and lastly the cheese on top of that.
Mix it all together before you add the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the top and mix it until even.
Cover and cook on low overnight, or for 6-8 hours.
When you wake up, you can serve it alone, or you can make breakfast burritos out of it. We did both, and it was so tasty.
As I mentioned before, when I make this again, I will add the bell pepper, Tabasco, and onion. I think it will give it more texture and flavor.
It will serve 6-10 people, depending on portion size.
Enjoy your Sunday and don’t forget to spend some quality time with your family.
