How to Make Ravioli Lasagna in the Slow Cooker

In a large skillet, brown the sausage or whatever ground meat you choose.

Once the meat has cooked through, add in the onions, garlic and diced tomatoes. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes until the onions have softened.

Next, pour in the jar of spaghetti sauce and combine with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Allow the spaghetti sauce to heat up for a few minutes.

• Save

In the bottom of your slow cooker, place a thin layer of the spaghetti sauce mixture. This helps prevent the frozen ravioli from sticking.

Then, layer in the ravioli.

Top with spaghetti sauce and cheese.

Repeat another layer with the remaining ravioli, spaghetti sauce and cheese.

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. Since the spaghetti sauce is cooked, you are just wanting to make sure that the ravioli is soft and heated through.
