Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 24-ounce jar of spaghetti sauce
1 22-ounce package of frozen cheese ravioli
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Brown the ground beef in a skillet with Italian seasoning until no pink remains. Drain any excess grease.
Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray.
Spread half of the jar sauce over the bottom of the slow cooker.
Layer half of the ravioli, half the ground beef mixture, and half the cheese.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second layer.
Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or the oven.

Make in the Instant Pot: If you would like to make this recipe in your pressure cooker, begin by setting your instant pot to the saute setting and brown ground beef with the seasoning until cooked through. Stir in the jar of sauce, plus a cup of water. Mix frozen ravioli into the meat mixture, then set the instant pot to the manual setting and cook for 2 minutes, do a careful quick release of the pressure and stir the cheese into the hot pasta before serving.

Make in the Oven: Follow the same process, but layer the ingredients into a 2-quart casserole dish. Cover with the lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove the foil and bake for about 5 minutes more to brown up the topping just a little bit. Let stand for about 5 minutes before serving.
