Ingredients:
1 bag (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
1 pound ground beef or Italian sausage
1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Begin by browning the ground beef or Italian sausage and draining any excess fat—this forms the foundational layer of your lasagna.
Line the bottom of your slow cooker with a thin layer of marinara sauce to prevent sticking.
Arrange a layer of frozen cheese ravioli, ensuring the sauce is adequately covered.
Spoon a portion of the browned meat onto the ravioli layer, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and add the canned diced tomatoes.
Generously sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the meat and tomato layer.
Repeat the layering process—ravioli, meat, tomatoes, and cheese—until all ingredients are used, concluding with a cheese layer on top.
Cover and cook on the low setting for 4-6 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow the lasagna to sit in the cooker for 10 minutes after turning it off to set slightly for easier serving.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil leaves.
