Ingredients for Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna:
1 bag of frozen cheese ravioli
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar (24 oz) pasta sauce (try marinara or traditional Italian for a rich flavor)
1 lb ground beef (browned and drained; use 2 lbs for an extra meaty crockpot lasagna)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside. This adds a delicious, hearty layer to your ravioli lasagna.
2. Prep the Crockpot: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of your crockpot to avoid sticking, making it easier to serve.
3. Layering Process: Begin by spreading a thin layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of the crockpot. Add a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce, followed by a sprinkle of browned ground beef.
4. Add Cheeses: Layer shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese to give this lasagna a creamy, cheesy texture.
5. Repeat Layers: Continue layering pasta sauce, ravioli, ground beef, and cheeses until all ingredients are used up, making sure the final layer is cheese for an ooey-gooey finish.
6. Cook: Cover with the crockpot lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the ravioli are tender, and the cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Serve your crockpot lasagna hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh basil for a classic Italian touch!
