You can make this incredibly easy Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna with minimal effort. This dump-and-go recipe uses frozen ravioli to create a cheesy, hearty lasagna right in your slow cooker, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (24 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar quality marinara sauce
  • 1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage, cooked and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until combined. Set aside.
  2. Lightly coat the bottom of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray or a small amount of sauce.
  3. Spread about 1 cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Arrange half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  5. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the ravioli layer.
  6. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
  7. Spoon half of the cooked meat over the cheese layer.
  8. Repeat the layers: remaining sauce, remaining ravioli, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining mozzarella, and remaining meat.
  9. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted.
  10. Remove the lid for the last 15 minutes of cooking if the top is too wet.
  11. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese before serving. Let it rest for 10 minutes before you scoop out servings.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or omit the meat for a vegetarian option.
  • If you use fresh ravioli, reduce the cooking time slightly.
  • This recipe freezes well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
