Ingredients:

– 1 24-ounce package frozen cheese-filled ravioli
– 3 15-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
– 1 pound ground beef, browned and drained
– 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (can also mix oregano and basil if you don’t have)
– 1 tablespoon garlic salt
– 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
– Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces. (Optional: Add onions or minced garlic to this step.) Drain any excess fat.

Obviously if you are in a rush, you can also skip the meat entirely and this recipe would still work 🙂

2. Add the tomatoes and seasonings. Pour some of this beef sauce mixture into greased slow cooker.

3. Layer half of the frozen cheese-filled ravioli on top of the sauce, making sure they are evenly distributed.

4. Spoon half of the beef sauce mixture on top of the ravioli, spreading it out to cover the entire layer.

5. Sprinkle some of the cheese mixture on top of ravioli.

6. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.

7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours or on high heat for 2-3 hours, until the ravioli is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Once cooked, let the lasagna sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.

9. Serve hot and enjoy the laziness and deliciousness of this slow cooker creation!
