1) Brown the sausage and put all ingredients in crockpot, chunking up the cream cheese
2) Cook on low for 4-6 hrs.
3) *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.
4) **If you use neufachtel (1/3 fat of cream cheese) be prepared that it doesn't melt as well and leaves little curds.
