Ingredients for Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna:
- 1 (25 oz) bag frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 (24 oz) jar marinara or pasta sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown and fully cook the ground beef or sausage. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in marinara sauce.
- Layer in Slow Cooker: Grease a 6-quart slow cooker. Start with a layer of meat sauce, then add frozen ravioli, more sauce, and a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and cheese on top.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 hours until ravioli is tender. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
- You can make a vegetarian version by using sautéed vegetables instead of meat. For spicier flavor, opt for spicy sausage or add a layer of ricotta for creaminess.
