Description
This Slow Cooker Ravioli Lasagna is a comforting, cheesy, and ultra-simple version of classic lasagna made entirely in your crockpot. Perfect for busy weeknights, potlucks, or anytime you need a hands-off hearty meal.
Ingredients
2 pounds frozen cheese ravioli
1 pound ground beef
24 ounces marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion and garlic until browned. Drain any grease.
2. Stir in marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
3. Spray your slow cooker with non-stick spray. Add a layer of meat sauce to the bottom.
4. Add a single layer of frozen ravioli, followed by mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
5. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with cheese on top.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.
7. Turn off heat and let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Do not thaw the ravioli before layering—this helps the pasta hold its shape during cooking.
Use Italian sausage or a beef/sausage mix for a deeper savory flavor.
Letting it rest before serving will help set the layers and improve slicing.
