Ingredients

• 24 ounces Frozen cheese ravioli
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 24 ounces Marinara sauce
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Add the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes (if using), Italian seasoning, and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of the beef sauce mixture on the bottom of the crock pot to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Add one layer of frozen cheese ravioli on top of the sauce in the crock pot.

Step 6

Spoon another layer of the beef sauce mixture over the ravioli, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Step 8

Repeat the layers (ravioli, beef sauce, and cheeses) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of cheese on top.

Step 9

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
