*Depending on the size and shape of your slow cooker, you will have 2 to 3 layers. Do not worry, you cannot mess this up – just be sure to coat the bottom of the slow cooker with sauce. You can divide the sauce, ravioli, beef and cheese in half or in thirds for the layers.

Tips – this recipe is easy to adapt to your personal taste
- not a fan of beef – skip it, or substitute with ground turkey/chicken/sausage
- customize the flavor by adding your favorite Italian seasonings
- chopped onion and fresh garlic minced (2 cloves) browned with the beef is a great addition for added flavor
- cheese and spinach ravioli is great
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers!

Does it have to be frozen ravioli? Can you use refrigerated kind?
Kari Dickson
Can you make this without cooking the beef?
Mandy Roncali
Can you add fresh spinach and cottage cheese or ricotta to the crockpot?
Mary Neumann
Yes you can, Mandy – this recipe is super easy to adapt.
Felisha
My husband likes me to add olives and mushrooms to my lasagna. Can this be done at start of cooking or should it be added after?
Chris Joseph
Can you use beef ravioli instead of cheese ravioli? Thank you
Mary Neumann
You sure can, Chris. You can use any flavor ravioli you like.

Chelsey
Have you ever made this using frozen cheese tortellini?
Mary Neumann
I have not, but you could, Chelsey!
LORI GYULAI
can you make this in the oven if you do not have a slow cooker?
Phyllis Draper
Do you boil the ravioli noodles?
Mary Neumann
Phyllis, no, you do not boil/cook the ravioli before adding them to your slow cooker.
Deb
How many does this feed?
Mary Neumann
Deb, 4-6 depending on portions and sides.
Aray
Can you still use ricotta
Sarah
Can you make the recipe in a crockpot instead if you don’t have a slow cooker
Mary Neumann
Yes – both are the same thing. A crockout is a slow cooker, Sarah. Crockpot is a brand of a slow cooker. Most people just call slow cookers, CrockPots. It can be confusing.
