Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (25 ounce) bag frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce (or preferred pasta sauce)
- 1 pound ground beef (cooked and drained)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- If you have not already, cook the ground beef in a skillet until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker insert with cooking spray or butter.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
- Spoon half of the cooked ground beef over the ravioli layer.
- Top the beef with half of the remaining marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese over the sauce layer.
- Repeat the layers: remaining ravioli, remaining ground beef, remaining marinara sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours. The ravioli should be tender and the cheese melted.
- Let the Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving directly from the slow cooker.
Notes
- You can substitute Italian sausage for the ground beef for a different flavor profile.
- For an extra cheesy texture, add 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese in a layer with the mozzarella.
- This recipe is great for meal prep; leftovers reheat well in the microwave.
