Sausage Kale Tortellini / Easy, $10/family, 1.5 hours prep

Ingredients
1 lb ground sausage
1 (19 oz) bag of frozen cheese tortellini
1 large handful of kale
2 cans diced tomatoes, drained
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions
Brown ground sausage over medium heat while breaking into small pieces. Grab crockpot and turn on high. Place tortellini in the bottom, then the cooked sausage, until all ingredients (except mozzarella cheese) in crockpot. Place cream cheese on top so that it doesn't curdle. Cook for 3-4 hours on high. Stir ingredients all together as many times as possible. Turn crockpot to "warm" or off then take off lid for about 30 minutes to let set up and add the cup of mozzarella cheese. Stir and serve the goodness!

Freezer Club Note
I prepped this as a fresh meal because of the kale. Place frozen tortellini in the bottom of the crockpot, dump in Ziploc contents, add cream cheese block and turn to high for 3-4 hours.
