Description
This Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna is a fuss-free, cheesy comfort meal made with frozen ravioli, savory meat sauce, and gooey melted cheese—all cooked together in a slow cooker for an easy and satisfying dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, browned and drained
- 25 ounces frozen cheese ravioli
- 24 ounces (1 jar) pasta sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Lightly grease the inside of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick spray.
- Spread 1 cup of pasta sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add a single layer of frozen ravioli over the sauce.
- Spoon half of the cooked beef on top of the ravioli.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the meat.
- Repeat layers with remaining ravioli, meat, sauce, and cheeses.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3½ to 4 hours, or until ravioli are tender and cheese is melted.
- Turn off the slow cooker and let the lasagna rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use ground turkey or Italian sausage for a flavor variation.
- Make it vegetarian by omitting meat and adding spinach or mushrooms.
- Switch up ravioli fillings like spinach-ricotta or four-cheese for extra flavor.
- Use Alfredo sauce instead of tomato sauce for a creamy white lasagna version.
- To reheat, microwave portions for 1–2 minutes or warm the whole dish in the slow cooker.
