Easy Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna

Easy Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna Recipe


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 4-5 hours (or 2-3 hours on high)

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen cheese ravioli
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 jar (24 oz) of your favorite pasta sauce
  • 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained (use 2 lbs for extra meatiness if desired)

Instructions

Instructions

Step 1:
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break up the beef with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even browning. Once the beef is fully browned, drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

Step 2:
Lightly grease the bottom and sides of your crockpot with a cooking spray or a bit of oil to prevent the ingredients from sticking.

Step 3:
Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of the crockpot. This prevents the ravioli from sticking and ensures that every bite is flavorful.

Step 4:
Place a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce, making sure to cover the bottom of the crockpot evenly.

Step 5:
Sprinkle a portion of the browned ground beef over the ravioli layer, ensuring the beef is distributed evenly.

Step 6:
Add a layer of shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese over the beef. The cheese will melt and create a gooey, flavorful layer in your lasagna.

Step 7:
Repeat the layering process, starting with another layer of pasta sauce, followed by more ravioli, ground beef, and cheese. Continue until all the ingredients are used, making sure to end with a final layer of cheese on top for a golden, bubbly finish.

Step 8:
Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook the lasagna on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, depending on your time preference. The ravioli should be tender, and the cheese should be fully melted and bubbly when the lasagna is ready.

Step 9:
Once cooked, serve the lasagna hot. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a burst of color and extra flavor.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding garlic and Italian seasoning to the browned ground beef.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce or beef mixture.
