Description
This Crockpot ravioli lasagna needs just 4 ingredients and a few minutes of prep for a rich, comforting dinner. Perfect for busy nights!
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef (sirloin recommended)
25 ounces pasta sauce
22 ounces ravioli (spinach & cheese or your favorite variety)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional: salt, pepper, onion powder, or Montreal steak seasoning
Instructions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season it with salt, pepper, onion powder, or Montreal steak seasoning. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.
-
Lower the heat and stir in the pasta sauce. Let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to deepen the flavor.
-
Lightly spray the bottom of a 6‑quart slow cooker with nonstick spray. Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom.
-
Layer half of the ravioli over the sauce. Spoon on half of the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle with a handful of shredded mozzarella.
-
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, meat sauce, and cheese. Make sure to tuck the ravioli under the sauce and cheese to prevent it from drying out.
-
Cover and cook on LOW:
-
Frozen ravioli: 3 to 4 hours
-
Fresh or thawed ravioli: 1 to 2 hours
-
-
When finished, the ravioli should be tender and the cheese melted and bubbly. Serve hot straight from the slow cooker.
Notes
Use any ravioli flavor: cheese, meat, spinach, etc.
Ground turkey or sausage can replace beef.
Add veggies like onions or mushrooms for more flavor.
Cooking times vary by slow cooker—check early to avoid overcooking.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
