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
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
- Combine Sauce and Seasoning: In a bowl, mix the pasta sauce with garlic powder and Italian seasoning to infuse extra flavor.
- Layer Ingredients in Crockpot: Spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture in the bottom of the crockpot. Then, add a layer of frozen cheese ravioli, followed by half of the cooked ground beef, and sprinkle with a portion of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce and a topping of Parmesan cheese.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1.5-2 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once cooked, let the lasagna sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set and cool slightly for easier slicing.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
- Adding fresh basil or oregano can enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- For a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Make sure to use frozen ravioli that does not require pre-cooking; cooking times may vary otherwise.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger groups using a larger slow cooker or two crockpots.
