Ravioli Lasagna

Slow-cooker lasagna has all the rich and meaty, cheesy goodness of regular lasagna but uses ravioli in place of pasta and ricotta cheese—no boiling required!

Ingredients :
  • 1 pound lean ground beef or Italian sausage
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce or pasta sauce
  • 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes drained
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 25 ounces frozen cheese ravioli do not thaw
  • 2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions :
  1. In a large skillet, brown the beef, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain fat.
  2. Add marinara sauce, drained tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  3. Spray the inside of a 6 qt crock pot with cooking spray.
  4. Add 1 cup of the meat sauce to the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with half of the frozen ravioli, 2 cups of sauce, and 1 ¼ cups of mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining ravioli, the remaining sauce, and the remaining mozzarella cheese. Top with parmesan cheese.
  5. To absorb excess moisture, Place a double layer of paper towel over the top of the slow cooker, ensuring it doesn't touch the cheese.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. Once cooked, turn the slow cooker off, remove the lid, and rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
