Ingredients For Crockpot Ravioli Casserole

• Frozen Cheese Ravioli: This recipe is very easy to prepare because you can use frozen ravioli.
• Marinara Sauce: Choose your favorite pre-made sauce or make your own with our Homemade Marinara Sauce Recipe.
• Shredded Mozzarella: Adds a creamy, cheesiness to the dish.
• Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Dried Basil, Pepper: To boost the flavor in the recipe.

How to Make Crock Pot Ravioli

To make this easy casserole, start by spreading a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of your crockpot, then add a layer of frozen cheese ravioli over the sauce.

Sprinkle a cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the ravioli. Then add a layer of marinara sauce, ravioli, and mozzarella cheese. I like to finish with a final layer of marinara sauce and a sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and dried basil.

Then cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the ravioli is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips for Making Frozen Ravioli in Crock Pot

Tip 1: This isn't one of those meals where you just dump everything in the slow cooker. You need to layer the ingredients for even cooking.

Tip 2: Be sure not to overcook the meal. The ravioli should be tender but not mushy.

Tip 3: This recipe uses dried basil, but if you have fresh basil or even fresh parsley on hand, sprinkle it on top for some extra flavor and visual appeal.

Can I Use Fresh Ravioli Instead Of Frozen In The Crockpot?

Yes, you can use fresh instead of frozen, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Since fresh ravioli cooks faster than frozen, you will need to adjust the cooking time to 1-2 hours on low heat for the best texture and flavor.

Fresh ravioli can be more delicate than frozen, so it is best to handle them gently to prevent them from tearing and letting the ricotta cheese seep out.

How Do You Store Crock-Pot Ravioli Casserole?

To store crockpot cheese ravioli, first let it cool to room temperature. Then, transfer the casserole to an airtight container. You can then refrigerate it for up to 3-4 days. If you want to store it longer, the freezer is your best bet.

You can freeze this in freezer-safe containers or freezer bags for up to 2-3 months. When you are ready to reheat, let the ravioli thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then warm up in the microwave or oven until heated through. If it has dried out a bit you can add a little sauce.

Can I Make Slow Cooker Ravioli With Meat?

Yes, you can! Making slow-cooker ravioli with meat is a great way to add protein to this dish. Ground beef, ground turkey, or chopped Italian sausage work well.

Simply cook the meat first in a skillet and then layer it in with the other ingredients. I like to add it on top of the ravioli, before the sauce. If you are interested in a meaty version of this recipe, check out our Ravioli Lasagna.
