Ingredients
For the Lasagna:
1 pound ground beef
1 can (24 oz) pasta sauce
1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.
Drain any excess grease.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Assemble in the Crockpot:
Spread ⅓ of the pasta sauce mixture on the bottom of the slow cooker.
Layer half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce.
Sprinkle ⅓ of the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese on top.
Repeat layers: sauce → ravioli → cheese, ending with cheese on top.
3. Slow Cook to Perfection:
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is fully melted.
4. Serve & Enjoy!
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color!
Serve with garlic bread and a side salad for the ultimate Italian meal!
