One of my goals for 2026 is to sort through all the recipes I have laying around tucked into folders and notebooks as well as my gigantic Pinterest/food blog collection that hasn't been touched in years. I've been having quite a good time with it. I enjoy cooking but it can become a chore pretty easily and this has made it a lot more fun for me as I feel like I'm working on a project. Around here we've taken to calling it Recipe Thunderdome as all recipes have to be auditioned before earning their place in the final recipe binder.
*For context I'm a reasonably capable home cook but one who is often trying to multitask and who is pretty much completely self-taught. *
Today I'm sharing Crockpot Chicken Tortellini from Slow Cooker Recipes
Changes: I forgot the Parmesan at the last step but other than that made it just as the recipe directed.
Thoughts on Recipe Difficulty: This was pretty easy. You do have to fiddle with a little in the last 30 minutes or so of cooking but for the most part you just put the ingredients in and walk away for 4 hours.
Cook Time: Actual prep time is probably about 15 minutes though it does cook for 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Served With: a green salad and rolls
Results: It was good and easy but not remarkable. Basically, my husband and I decided we'd be fine having it again and fine not having it again. I really love tortellini but I have a baked tortellini recipe I'd pick over this one every time and I have a few more on deck.
Verdict: Exiled. There's nothing wrong with this recipe but it's not special enough for the binder.
