Ingredients
  

  • 500 g frozen cheese ravioli
  • 100 g Parmesan cheese freshly shredded
  • 200 g Mozzarella cheese shredded

  • 450 g ground beef browned and drained
  • Optional Substitutions: ground turkey chicken, or Italian sausage; sautéed mushrooms and peppers for vegetarian version

Method
 

  1. Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of your crockpot to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer half of the ravioli, half the ground beef, Parmesan, and mozzarella, then cover with sauce.
  3. Repeat with remaining ravioli, beef, cheese, and sauce.
  4. Cover and cook: 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low, until ravioli is tender and cheese is melted.
  5. Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving for easier portioning.

Notes

Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain steam and ensure even heating. Add spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers between layers for extra nutrition.
