🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 (24 oz) jar pasta sauce (your favorite marinara or meat sauce)
• 1 (25 oz) bag frozen ravioli (cheese or meat-filled)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage (optional, for a meaty version)
• 1 small onion, diced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional for extra flavor)
• Cooking spray or olive oil, for greasing the crockpot

🔥 Instructions:

1️⃣ Brown the Meat (Optional):

• If using ground beef or sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned.
• Add diced onion and cook until softened.
• Drain excess grease and stir in Italian seasoning if using.

2️⃣ Prepare the Crockpot:

• Lightly spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

3️⃣ Layer the Ingredients:

• Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of the crockpot.
• Add a single layer of frozen ravioli.
• Add a layer of cooked meat (if using).
• Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
• Repeat the layers: sauce, ravioli, meat, cheeses — until all ingredients are used up.
• Finish with a generous layer of sauce and cheese on top.

4️⃣ Cook:

• Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–2.5 hours.
• It’s ready when the ravioli is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5️⃣ Serve:

• Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.

✅ Tips:

• Vegetarian option: Skip the meat and add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini between the layers!
• Make it spicier: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce or meat.
• Cheesy upgrade: Add dollops of ricotta cheese in the layers for an even creamier lasagna.

🍴 Storage:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Reheat individual portions in the microwave or in the oven covered with foil.
