Recipe
Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna
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
Instructions:
In a large skillet, brown the beef, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until no pink remains.
Drain fat. 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. Spray the inside of a 6 qt crock pot with cooking spray. 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.
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. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. Once cooked, turn the slow cooker off, remove the lid, and rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
