Valentine Tortellini

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 3 hours 

Ingredients:
1 (19oz) bag of frozen cheese tortellini 
1 small bag of fresh spinach (I used about half of a 5 oz package, but more is better!)
1 (14.5 oz) cans of Italian style diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 block (8 oz) of cream cheese
1 lb. of ground beef {or sausage}
1 cups of chicken broth {water + bouillon cubes} 

2 cups of milk {+ 2 bouillon cubes}
2 cloves of crushed garlic 

Directions:
Brown the meat then put all ingredients in crockpot except the tortellini. Don't drain the tomatos. Chunk up the cream cheese when you put it in. After an hour, put in the tortellini {you don't want the tortellini to get soggy}. 
Cook on high for 1 hour and then on low for 2 hrs.

*Keep an eye on your tortellini, it may be done sooner.
*If still soupy, leave lid off for the last half hour or so of cooking.
