Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 (24-ounce) jars prepared pasta sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 (25-ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Meat Sauce:

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with chopped garlic, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, basil, and oregano. Simmer for a few minutes to blend flavors.

Assemble in the Slow Cooker:

  1. Spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add a layer of frozen cheese ravioli.
  3. Repeat layers of meat sauce and ravioli until all ingredients are used, ending with a meat sauce layer.

Cook:

  1. Cover and cook on Low for 3 to 5 hours.
  2. About 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, cover, and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Swap the beef for sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
  • Spicy Kick: Use spicy Italian sausage or add red pepper flakes.
  • Cheese Variety: Mix in provolone, ricotta, or Parmesan for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating: Microwave individual portions or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
