- 1 can (24 oz) pasta sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the pasta sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning with the beef. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Grease your slow cooker and spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom.
- Layer half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce, ensuring they are evenly spread.
- Top the ravioli with half of the remaining meat sauce, followed by half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, meat sauce, and finishing with the remaining cheese on top.
Cooking
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted.
Notes
Serve hot from the slow cooker. It’s great on its own or paired with a side salad or garlic bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
