Easy Slow Cooker Tortellini and Meatballs Recipe

Not only is it easy and delicious, it’s made in the crock pot! Win win for mom!

My friend Allison is sharing this recipe for Slow Cooker Sunday. If you have a Crock pot recipe that’s a tried and true family favorite, send it my way! I’ll feature it if I can!

I like that this recipe only takes about 4 or 5 hours to cook. This means that I can still pop it in the slow cooker at 2pm and still have a delicious dinner waiting when we get home from soccer.

Nothing makes this girl more cranky than trying to figure out a decent meal at 6pm at night. Once you get to that point, all healthy choices will most likely be thrown out the window. If you prep your pantry and plan your meals, life is much more enjoyable….. for everyone, am I right?

If you’re looking for a printable meal planner, I’ve got one.
