- 1 jar (24 oz) of your favorite pasta sauce
- 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained (use 2 lbs for extra meatiness if desired)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Once cooked, drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
- Prepare the Crockpot: Lightly grease the bottom and sides of your crockpot to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Ingredients:
- First Layer: Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of the crockpot.
- Second Layer: Place a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce.
- Third Layer: Sprinkle a portion of the browned ground beef over the ravioli.
- Fourth Layer: Add a layer of shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top of the beef.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering with pasta sauce, ravioli, ground beef, and cheeses until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- For extra meatiness, consider using 2 lbs of ground beef.
- You can customize by adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms.
