¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned (6–8 minutes). Drain excess fat.

Layer the lasagna: Add half of the frozen ravioli in a single layer, followed by half the remaining sauce and cheeses.
-
Repeat layers: Add another layer of ravioli, sauce, and the rest of the cheeses.
-
Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, until the ravioli is tender and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Serve: Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.
Notes
Keep ravioli frozen when assembling—no need to thaw.
Cook on low to avoid drying out the dish.
Add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for a veggie boost.
Use a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
Reheat in the oven, microwave, or air fryer.
