Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- skillet
Ingredients
Meat and Sauce
- 1 pound lean ground beef I recommend sirloin
- 25 ounces pasta sauce
Ravioli and Cheese
- 22 ounces ravioli I used spinach & cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and season (salt, pepper, onion, Montreal steak seasoning). Cook the meat, breaking it apart until no longer pink.
- Turn the heat down and pour in the sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes.
- Spray the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray and then spoon in approximately 1 cup of meat sauce into the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Top with half of the ravioli, half of the remaining sauce, and a handful of cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, finishing with cheese on top, making sure to tuck the ravioli under the sauce and cheese.
- If starting with frozen ravioli, cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours. If starting with thawed/fresh ravioli, cover and cook on LOW for 1-2 hours.
Notes
Cook fresh ravioli on LOW for 2 hours; frozen ravioli needs about 3 hours. Choose any ravioli variety—cheese, meat, spinach, or your favorite combo. Swap ground beef with sausage or turkey, or leave out the meat entirely. Use your favorite jarred sauce or go with homemade marinara. Want extra flavor? Sauté chopped veggies like onions, mushrooms, or carrots with the meat. For a kick of heat, stir red pepper flakes into the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
