🔥 How to Make Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna
1️⃣ Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat to keep the sauce from being greasy.
2️⃣ Make the Meat Sauce
Stir in the pasta sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
3️⃣ Layer in the Crockpot
Grease your slow cooker lightly, then layer the ingredients in this order:
✅ Meat sauce
✅ Frozen cheese ravioli
✅ Mozzarella and cheddar cheese
✅ Parmesan cheese
Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a cheese layer on top.
4️⃣ Slow Cook to Perfection
