Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Mixture

  • 1 large jar (48 ounces) pasta sauce of your choice (we like Ragu’s traditional sauce)
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

Main Ingredients

  • 1 bag (25 ounces) frozen ravioli
  • 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Spray the insert of a large crock pot (7 quart size recommended) with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Mix Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the pasta sauce, drained diced tomatoes, and minced garlic. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Spoon one-third of the sauce mixture into the bottom of the crock pot. Add one-third of the frozen ravioli on top of the sauce. Sprinkle one-third of the shredded Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the ravioli.
  4. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times—sauce, ravioli, and cheese—ending with the cheese on top as the final layer.
  5. Cook: Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, or until the ravioli is fully heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, serve the cheesy ravioli warm. Enjoy this comforting, cheesy crock pot meal perfect for any day.

Notes

  • Use a 7-quart crock pot for best results to ensure all ingredients fit comfortably.
  • Ensure the diced tomatoes are well drained to avoid excess liquid in the crock pot.
  • You can customize the pasta sauce to your favorite brand or flavor.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh basil or parsley as garnish before serving.
  • Check for doneness after 3 hours; cook longer if ravioli is still not heated through.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce the amount of diced tomatoes slightly or cook uncovered for the last 15 minutes.
