Description
Need a hearty, no-fuss dinner that practically cooks itself? This Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna is the ultimate weeknight win.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (25 oz) bag of frozen ravioli (cheese or meat-filled)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 jar (24 oz) pasta sauce (marinara or tomato basil)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Ingredient Tips
- Use homemade marinara for more flavor control.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or sausage for variation.
- Ricotta can be replaced with cottage cheese for a lighter twist.
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Drain excess fat.
- Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Layer the ingredients: Start with a small amount of sauce to coat the bottom. Add a single layer of frozen ravioli, spoon over some cooked beef, dot with ricotta, sprinkle with mozzarella, and spoon more sauce on top.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with sauce and a layer of mozzarella.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or until ravioli are cooked through and cheese is melted.
- Serve hot, topped with chopped parsley or fresh basil.
Notes
- Don’t thaw the ravioli first—frozen ravioli hold up better and help with moisture control.
- Use a liner in the crockpot for super easy cleanup.
