Ingredients
Pasta
- 1 bag frozen cheese ravioli (about 9-12 oz)
Cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Sauce
- 1 jar (24 oz) pasta sauce
Protein
- 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned. Drain any excess fat and set it aside.
- Prepare the crockpot: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of your crockpot to prevent sticking. Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce evenly across the bottom.
- Layer the ingredients: Place a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce in the crockpot. Sprinkle a portion of the browned ground beef on top of the ravioli. Add a layer of shredded Parmesan cheese followed by shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers—pasta sauce, ravioli, ground beef, and cheeses—until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
- Cook the lasagna: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours or on high heat for 2 to 3 hours. Cook until the ravioli is tender, and the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve hot, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added flavor and freshness.
Notes
- Do not thaw the ravioli before layering; frozen works best for this recipe.
- The total cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot model.
- Feel free to substitute ground beef with ground turkey or Italian sausage.
- Adding fresh herbs or crushed red pepper flakes can add an extra flavor dimension.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated well.
