- 1 pound lean ground beef (or Italian sausage)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 24 ounces marinara sauce ( or pasta sauce)
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (drained)
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- 25 ounces frozen cheese ravioli (do not thaw)
- 2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Steps
In a large skillet, brown the beef, onion, and garlic over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain fat.
Add marinara sauce, drained tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Spray the inside of a 6 qt crock pot with cooking spray.
Add 1 cup of the meat sauce to the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with half of the frozen ravioli, 2 cups of sauce, and 1 ¼ cups of mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining ravioli, the remaining sauce, and the remaining mozzarella cheese. Top with parmesan cheese.
To absorb excess moisture, Place a double layer of paper towel over the top of the slow cooker, ensuring it doesn't touch the cheese.
Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
Once cooked, turn the slow cooker off, remove the lid, and rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
