As I mentioned before, I found a few "new to me" recipes in a book called Six Ingredients or Less: Slow Cooker. This is one I had never even thought of, yet so simple and delicious.
Easy Ravioli Lasagna
1 1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 jar spaghetti sauce with mushrooms
1 package frozen cheese-filled ravioli
5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Brown ground beef. Drain. Add spaghetti sauce and brown sugar. Heat through.
Spoon a little sauce on the bottom of a spayed slow cooker. Add a single layer of frozen ravioli (do not thaw). Add a layer of half the sauce then half the cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours until very hot and cheese has melted.
I didn't have any ground beef, but had half a pound of sausage and half a pound of ground turkey, so I cooked that, then added traditional spaghetti sauce and brown sugar. I didn't bother heating it up.
I wanted to make this into individual meals, so I set them up for my mini crock pots:
On the day I wanted to have this for dinner, I pulled a portion out of the freezer, run some water over the bottom of the container, and popped it out like a big lasagna ice cube and plopped it right into a mini crock pot. I cooked it on high for about four hours.
I spooned it out into a bowl. It didn't come out as a pretty layered lasagna, but it tasted incredible! The ravioli was tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce and cheese was very yummy.
This dish will definitely be a regular.
