Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 (24 oz) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Meat:
    In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

  • Prepare the Sauce:
    Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.
    Stir in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes to combine the flavors.

  • Layer the Ingredients:
    Spray the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
    Start by spreading a thin layer of the sauce mixture on the bottom of the crockpot.
    Add a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce.
    Spoon half of the ricotta cheese over the ravioli and sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
    Repeat the layering process with the remaining sauce, ravioli, ricotta, and mozzarella cheeses.
    Finish by sprinkling the top with the grated Parmesan cheese.

  • Cook:
    Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, you can add red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner version or use a vegetarian protein for a meatless version.
  • Feel free to add extra vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the layers for added flavor and nutrition.
