Description
A comforting and effortless dish that combines the familiar tastes of lasagna with the convenience of a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (24 oz) pasta sauce (your choice!)

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, draining any excess fat afterward.
- Stir in the pasta sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Allow this mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes to develop the flavors.

- Add half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce layer.
- Top with half of the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle generously with half of each type of cheese.
- Repeat this layering process, finishing with a layer of cheese on the top.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until it’s heated through and the cheese has melted beautifully.
- Serve hot and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors!
