Cheesy Italian Tortellini

Ingredients:
*1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
*1 jar pasta sauce (whatever flavor you like)
*1 can tomatoes with Italian seasonings, with juices
*1 tsp or garlic powder
*1 package refrigerated cheese tortellini (9 oz)
*1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:
1.)  Mix beef, pasta sauce, tomatoes, and garlic powder into crock pot.
2.)  Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
3.)  Add torellini and cover with cheese.  Cook on low another 15-20 mins or until pasta is cooked through.

Side Note:
1.)  My husband really enjoyed this.  If I were to make it again, I would double the recipe (except the meat).  It wasn't very "saucey"--it more "coated" the torellini.  Also, there wasn't enough tortellini to feed my family of 3.  (We LOVE Italian food AND leftovers!)
2.)  Using the crock pot is a great way to experiment in making any kind of pasta sauce.  The spices blend together nicely!  Start with a jar or two of your favorite sauce and add whatever you'd like: ground beef (cooked),  italian sausage (cooked), fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, mushrooms!  Cook on low for 6-7 hours.  You could also do it on your stove top!
