Randy's Ravioli Lasagna in the Slow Cooker
Ingredients List
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
2 (24 ounce) jars prepared pasta sauce
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 (25 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high. Brown the ground beef with garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring occasionally until the beef is fully cooked and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease, then mix in the pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, basil, and oregano into the beef mixture.
Begin by layering a generous amount of meat sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by a layer of ravioli. Add another layer of meat sauce over the ravioli, and continue alternating between ravioli and sauce until all ingredients are used up.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 3 to 5 hours. Once done, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the ravioli mixture and cook for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the cheese is fully melted.
Tips from the Cook
For a richer flavor, using two jars of pasta sauce is recommended. If you prefer less sauce, feel free to use just one jar.
The seasonings can be customized to suit your personal taste; I like to add a generous amount for extra flavor.
