    | 1. If your sausage comes in links, remove it from the casings. Crumble the ground beef and Italian sausage into a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until browned. Remove meat to slow cooker, using a slotted spoon, leaving fat in skillet. | 2. Add onion, green pepper and garlic to skillet and sauté until soft and onion is translucent. Remove vegetables to slow cooker with a slotted spoon. Discard fat remaining in skillet. | 3. Add the marinara sauce, mushrooms, tomatoes, herbs, and brown sugar to the slow cooker. Cover, and cook on LOW heat for 7 to 8 hours. (It will probably be ready after 4 hours, but you can leave it to sit as long as 8 if need be.). | 4. Stir in the tortellini, and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover and cook for 15 more minutes on LOW, or until the tortellini is tender. Serve with grated Parmigiano. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
