Crockpot Cheese Tortellini

I don't have many Crockpot recipes that I enjoy, but this made the list.  I wish my kids would try it, but Scott and I like it. It is from Kate Deitrich's Blog.  I like that it is quick and yummy.

1 (19 oz) bag of frozen cheese tortellini
1 small bag of fresh spinach (I just eye ball what I think I would like)
2 (14.5 oz) cans Italian style diced tomatoes, drained
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 lb ground sausage
3-4 C chicken broth (start with 3 and add more if you want)

Brown sausage.  Put all ingredients in crockpot, chunking up the cream cheese.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours.  Keep an eye on tortellini as it can cook quickly.
