Ingredients

1 cup beef broth
0.25 cup ketchup
2 tbsp yellow mustard
2 tbsp sauce (The transcript says “this sauce” but does not identify the sauce by name.)
2 tsp smoked paprika (Regular paprika may be used instead.)
2 tbsp burger or grill seasoning (The creator uses Spire & Smoke Back Porch Burger Seasoning; any burger seasoning or grill seasoning may be used. Optional.)
1 onion (Diced; optional. Leave out for diners who do not like onions.)
16 oz Velveeta (Cut into blocks to make it easier to melt. Shredded cheese may be substituted.)
8 oz cream cheese (Cut into blocks to make it easier to melt. It may be omitted, or sour cream or heavy cream may be used instead.)
2 lb ground beef (Brown on the stovetop and drain the excess grease before adding.)
1 cup bacon bits (Additional bacon bits may be used as a topping.)
36 oz frozen tortellini (Keep frozen until adding to the slow cooker.)
1 can diced tomatoes (Optional; the transcript does not specify the can size.)
parsley (For serving; amount not specified.)
pickles (Optional topping; amount not specified.)

Steps

1
Add 1 cup of beef broth to the slow cooker.
2
Add the ketchup, yellow mustard, unidentified sauce, smoked paprika, and burger or grill seasoning.
3
If using onion, dice 1 onion and add it to the slow cooker. Leave it out if desired.
4
Cut the Velveeta into blocks and add it to the slow cooker. Shredded cheese may be used instead.
5
Cut the cream cheese into blocks and add it. Omit it or substitute sour cream or heavy cream if preferred.
6
Brown 2 pounds of ground beef on the stovetop, then drain the excess grease. Add the cooked beef to the slow cooker.
7
Add 1 cup of bacon bits.
8
Add the 36-ounce bag of frozen tortellini.
9
Stir everything together as well as possible. The cheeses will not yet be melted, so the mixture may be difficult to combine thoroughly at this stage.
10
Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on high for 1 to 2 hours or on low for 3 to 4 hours.
11
When the cooking is complete, stir everything together until the melted cheeses are distributed throughout the tortellini and beef mixture.
12
If desired, stir in a can of diced tomatoes; the creator mentions adding them if you like tomatoes.
13
Serve with optional toppings such as additional bacon bits, pickles, and parsley.

Notes

The transcript does not identify the sauce used in the 2-tablespoon quantity. It also does not specify the size of the optional diced-tomato can or the amount of parsley and pickles. The creator notes that onions can be omitted for picky eaters and that tortellini can be substituted according to preference, but does not provide a specific alternative.
