    If you love ravioli then you must try this easy Air Fryer Ravioli Recipe. Only 5 ingredients for a yummy appetizer!

    Why this Crockpot Lasagna with Ravioli is awesome

    Besides the crock pot, one of the big shortcuts of this lazy day lasagna is the fact that it uses ravioli in place of lasagna noodles. This is a genius substitution as the ravioli combines the pasta and ricotta found in traditional lasagna.

    How to make easy crockpot lasagna

    Start the recipe by making the meat sauce. To do so, you will brown the ground beef and then combine the browned ground beef, tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, seasonings, and honey in a large skillet. You'll want to cook this mixture over medium-high heat for 5 to 10 minutes.

    meat sauce

    Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Ladle a scoop of the meat mixture with sauce into the slow cooker.

        I have never tried it in the oven so I couldn't say. If I were to make it in the oven, I would spray a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray then layer the ingredients and bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes. I would add the top layer of cheese near the end of cooking time. If you try it, let me know how it goes.

      I'm new to crock pot cooking, and this was only the 4th meal I've made in it. This lasagna was soooo delicious! I actually think it's the best lasagna I've ever had. The only problem I encountered was that alot of grease ended up leaking out. I think it's because I used a liner and some air got trapped in there which made less space for the lasagna to do its cheesy, bubbly thing. This will be going on the menu on a regular basis and I'll be trying some of your other recipes too. Thank you!!

      I love making this. Its the best way to feed a crowd. Last year I made this for my workplace for the holiday and they went nuts over it. Every person wanted to make it . I like the fact to added honey instead of sugar for the sauce acidity will try that! thanks

      I am intrigued by the addition of the honey in your sauce! I'm gonna have to try that the next time I make spaghetti sauce. I love ooey gooey comfort food dishes like this. I'm wishing I had a big plate full for lunch right now!
