Description
An easy, hands-off lasagna-style casserole made with frozen cheese ravioli, rich pasta sauce, and three kinds of cheese, all simmered low and slow in your crockpot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (24 oz) pasta sauce
- 1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the pasta sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes to blend flavors.
- Grease the inside of your slow cooker lightly with cooking spray or a little oil. Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce across the bottom.
- Arrange half of the frozen cheese ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
- Spoon half of the remaining meat sauce over the ravioli, then sprinkle half of the mozzarella, half of the cheddar, and half of the Parmesan.
- Repeat: layer the rest of the ravioli, top with the remaining meat sauce, and finish evenly with the remaining cheeses.
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or until the ravioli are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest a few minutes before scooping. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, do not overcrowd the layers; ensure even layers of ravioli for reliable cooking.
