Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef I recommend sirloin
25 ounces pasta sauce
22 ounces ravioli I used spinach & cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella

Instructions

To a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and season (salt, pepper, onion, Montreal steak seasoning). Cook the meat, breaking it apart until no longer pink.
1 pound lean ground beef
Turn the heat down and pour in the sauce. Let simmer for a few minutes.
Spray the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray and then spoon in approximately 1 cup of meat sauce into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Top with half of the ravioli, half of the remaining sauce, and a handful of cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, finishing with cheese on top, making sure to tuck the ravioli under the sauce and cheese.

If starting with frozen ravioli, cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours.
If starting with thawed/fresh ravioli, cover and cook on LOW for 1-2 hours.

Notes

Cook fresh ravioli on LOW for 2 hours; frozen ravioli needs about 3 hours.
Choose any ravioli variety—cheese, meat, spinach, or your favorite combo.
Swap ground beef with sausage or turkey, or leave out the meat entirely.
Use your favorite jarred sauce or go with homemade marinara.
Want extra flavor? Sauté chopped veggies like onions, mushrooms, or carrots with the meat.
For a kick of heat, stir red pepper flakes into the sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
