Ingredients
  

For the meat sauce
  • 1 pound ground beef (or substitute ground turkey or plant-based ground) For a lighter dish, use lean ground turkey.
  • 1 can (24 oz) pasta sauce (use marinara or your favorite tomato sauce) Choose a thicker pasta sauce for more sauce.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For layering
  • 1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli Fresh ravioli can be used but check for doneness at 2 to 3 hours.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Use low-moisture mozzarella to avoid a watery top.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and cook until fully browned.
  2. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Return the skillet to the stove and stir in the pasta sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for 4 to 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce across the bottom.
  5. Place half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer over the sauce.
  6. Spoon half of the remaining meat sauce over the ravioli. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella, half of the cheddar, and half of the Parmesan.
  7. Repeat: another layer of the remaining ravioli, the rest of the sauce, and the remaining cheeses. Finish with the cheese on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. Check at 4 hours; the dish is done when the ravioli are hot through and the cheese is melted.
  2. Let the lasagna sit for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping to help it set. Serve hot.

Notes

For a sweet contrast, pair with a crockpot sweet potato casserole. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of cooking; they keep for 3 to 4 days. To freeze, portion into freezer-safe containers and seal well for up to 2 months.
