Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna
If you’re craving the rich, cheesy flavors of homemade lasagna without all the layering and fuss, this Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna is your new weeknight hero! It’s packed with hearty meat sauce, gooey mozzarella, and tender ravioli all slow-cooked to perfection. The best part? You can prep it in minutes and let your slow cooker do all the work!
Ingredients:
For the Lasagna:
1 lb ground beef, Italian sausage, or plant-based crumbles
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli (no need to thaw!)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese (optional for extra creaminess)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Add-Ins:
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped spinach
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
Directions:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sausage until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom of your slow cooker to prevent sticking.
Add half the frozen cheese ravioli, followed by half the meat sauce.
Top with mozzarella, Parmesan, and dollops of ricotta if using.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
(Avoid cooking on high ravioli can become mushy!)
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so the layers set.
Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan cheese, and enjoy the ultimate cheesy comfort food!
Tips for Best Results:
Swap in spinach or mushrooms for added flavor and texture.
Use spicy Italian sausage for a bold, savory twist.
Leftovers? Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze portions for easy meal prep!
