🧾 Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef

• 1 can (24 oz / 680 g) pasta sauce

• 1 package (25 oz / 700 g) frozen cheese ravioli

• 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese

• ¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ tsp garlic powder

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Prepare the Meat Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the pasta sauce and garlic powder. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Assemble in the Crockpot: Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the crockpot. Add half of the frozen cheese ravioli, followed by another layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of meat sauce on top.

3. Add the Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top layer of meat sauce.

4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, or until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

5. Rest and Serve: Let the lasagna sit for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
