Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna Meal (Print Version)

Cheesy ravioli layers with ground beef and savory sauce slow-cooked for a cozy family dinner.

# Ingredients:

→ Pasta

01 - 1 (25-ounce) bag frozen cheese ravioli

→ Cheese

02 - 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
03 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Sauce

04 - 1 (24-ounce) jar pasta sauce

→ Protein

05 - 1 pound ground beef, browned and drained

# Steps:

01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and set the cooked meat aside.
02 - Lightly grease the bottom and sides of the slow cooker with nonstick spray or oil.
03 - Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce in the bottom of the crockpot. Arrange a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce. Evenly distribute a portion of the browned ground beef atop the ravioli, then sprinkle with shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers of pasta sauce, ravioli, ground beef, and cheeses until all ingredients are assembled, ending with a generous layer of cheese.
04 - Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve hot, with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For extra flavor, layer in fresh basil or Italian seasoning between each set of ingredients.
