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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or lean beef for a lighter option.
- For extra flavor, top with fresh parsley or basil just before serving.
