Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Prepare the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess grease to keep the dish from becoming too oily.
  2. Combine Sauce and Seasoning: In a bowl, mix the pasta sauce with garlic powder and Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  3. Layer Ingredients in Crockpot: Spread a thin layer of the pasta sauce mixture in the bottom of the crockpot. Add a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce. Next, spread half of the cooked ground beef over the ravioli. Sprinkle a third of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly on top. Repeat the layering process with pasta sauce, ravioli, ground beef, and cheese, ending with a final layer of pasta sauce and cheeses. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on the very top layer.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  5. Serve Warm: Once cooked, let the lasagna set for a few minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly for easier slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner variation.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
  • Ensure the crockpot is fully heated through before layering for even cooking.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings using a bigger slow cooker.
