Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use refrigerated tortellini?
Yes! Refrigerated tortellini cooks faster, so check for doneness after about 1½ hours on High or 3 hours on Low.
Can I substitute cream of mushroom soup?
Absolutely. Cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup both work well in this recipe.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble everything in the crock pot insert, refrigerate overnight, then place it in the slow cooker the next day when you're ready to cook.
