Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Meat

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
2. Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 2: Layer the Ingredients

1. Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the crockpot.
3. Add a single layer of frozen ravioli, followed by a layer of the cooked meat.
4. Sprinkle a handful of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the meat.
5. Repeat the layers—sauce, ravioli, meat, and cheese—until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 3: Cook the Ravioli Lasagna

1. Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4–5 hours or high heat for 2–3 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 4: Serve

1. Once cooked, let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes to set.
2. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve warm.
