Ingredients
Pasta
- 1 bag frozen cheese ravioli (about 20 oz)
Cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Sauce
- 1 jar (24 oz) pasta sauce
Protein
- 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
Instructions
- Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink inside, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
- Prepare the crockpot: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of the crockpot to prevent sticking. Spread a thin, even layer of the pasta sauce on the bottom to start the layering process.
- Layer the ingredients: Place a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce, followed by a portion of the browned ground beef. Sprinkle a mixture of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top of the beef. Repeat these layers—pasta sauce, ravioli, ground beef, and cheeses—until all ingredients are used, making sure to end with a final layer of cheese on top for a bubbly, cheesy finish.
- Cook the lasagna: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Cook until the ravioli are tender, the cheese is melted, and the sauce is bubbly and hot throughout.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the lasagna hot. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs such as basil or parsley for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by adding vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms between the layers for added nutrition and flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning to the sauce before layering.
- Use whole wheat or gluten-free ravioli to make this recipe accommodate specific dietary needs.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- For a richer flavor, brown the beef with garlic and onion before layering.
