This Slow Cooker Ravioli Lasagna is an easy and hearty twist on classic lasagna, and is great for busy weeknights. With layers of cheese-stuffed ravioli, punchy marinara and well-seasoned ground beef, this dish packs all the comforting goodness of lasagna without a pot of boiling noodles or complicated layering. It’s an honest-to-goodness “set it and forget it” meal that comes out so wonderfully rich and satisfying.
Using frozen ravioli as the bottom layer makes it much easier to prepare a casserole layer, and the seasoned ground beef intermixed with onions brings a delicious richness, especially when combined with marinara sauce and globs of mozzarella. The slow cooker lets all the flavors meld beautifully over 4 hours, resulting in a dish that’s melt-in-your-mouth tender, cheesy and luscious with flavor. Allowing the lasagna to rest for a few minutes before serving enables the layers to retain their structure.
Serve with a side of garden salad and garlic bread for a complete Italian-inspired comfort dish the whole family will love. This is a simple, tasty recipe that will quickly become a go-to in your meal rotation!
