Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna Comfort (Recipe for Printing)

Tender cheese ravioli, savory beef, and melty cheeses slow-cooked together for a satisfying family favorite.

# What You Need:

→ Meat

01 - 1 pound ground beef

→ Sauce

02 - 1 can (24 ounces) pasta sauce

→ Pasta

03 - 1 package (25 ounces) frozen cheese ravioli

→ Cheese

04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Seasonings

07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
09 - Salt to taste
10 - Black pepper to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - In a skillet set over medium heat, cook ground beef until evenly browned, breaking apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat thoroughly.
02 - Return the drained beef to skillet. Stir in pasta sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and heated through.
03 - Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce mixture on the bottom of the crockpot. Arrange half of the frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce. Top with half of the remaining meat sauce, then sprinkle with half the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and all the Parmesan cheese. Repeat with remaining ravioli, sauce, and shredded cheeses.
04 - Cover and cook on low heat for 4–6 hours or on high heat for 2–3 hours, until ravioli is tender and heated through, and cheese is melted.
05 - Allow lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter variation. Italian sausage can be used for a spicier profile.
02 - Enhance nutrition by incorporating spinach, zucchini, or chopped bell peppers between layers.
03 - Try ricotta or cottage cheese in place of some shredded cheese for added creaminess.
04 - For heat, include red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeño peppers with the sauce.
05 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat thoroughly with a splash of sauce or cheese to maintain moisture.
