Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 ounces Frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 24 ounces Marinara sauce
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes (if using), Italian seasoning, and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Spread a thin layer of the beef sauce mixture on the bottom of the crock pot to prevent sticking.
Add one layer of frozen cheese ravioli on top of the sauce in the crock pot.
Spoon another layer of the beef sauce mixture over the ravioli, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Repeat the layers (ravioli, beef sauce, and cheeses) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
