My ‘lazy mom’ crockpot sausage tortellini recipe is so creamy and delicious – and it’s only 6 ingredients
A STAY-AT-HOME mom knows the challenge of trying to whip together a gourmet meal after a long day of baby care.
She began a TikTok series called “lazy mom dinners” to show women like herself that you don’t have to put in a lot of effort to get a good meal.
Brittany Lane (@_brittlane_) said her latest dish can be created with just a skillet and a crockpot.
“Back with another easy weeknight dinner. It’s ‘lazy mom dinners’ part 11,” she began in the video.
On the menu was her sausage and tortellini soup.
“It is creamy and delicious, and it’s so good. You have got to try it.”
The best part? It only calls for six ingredients: sausage (she likes the hot and spicy kind), two cans of diced tomatoes, a carton of chicken broth, baby spinach, cream cheese, and a 20 oz bag of 5 cheese tortellini.
The food lover let her sausage brown on the pan while she added the two cans of tomatoes and the whole carton of chicken broth to a crockpot.
Once the sausage was cooked through, she added it to the crockpot as well.
“And then, we’re going to cube up our cream cheese and add that in too.”
“You will cook this on low for about four hours, just until the cream cheese is all melted.”
Once that’s done, Brittany advised adding in a couple handfuls of spinach and the bag of tortellini about 30 minutes before you are ready to eat.
“Let the pasta cook and let it wilt your spinach.”
The final product was a creamy, colorful soup dish.
“So good,” she admired.
Viewers said the recipe was a hit.
“Omgosh! I made this and let me tell you my family loved it. Thank you,” one person praied.
“Made this tonight and it was delicious! I added chopped onions and minced garlic to the ground hot sausage,” added another.
