No Lasagna Noodles Needed:
Have you tried cooking lasagna noodles in the crock pot? I tried using dried lasagna noodles in the crock pot and they never turn out right. They tend to still be crunchy or the lasagna noodles become very mushy.
Then I discovered using frozen ravioli instead and it has been a game changer for my family. They cook perfectly in the crock pot. It saves me time and money, plus my sanity.
I can ensure that I will be feeding my family a good meal that taste good too.
A Good Crock Pot is a must!
I have a large family which means I have a lot of crock pots too. I probably use a crock pot 3-4 nights a week so I wanted to make sure that I had one that consistently cooked meals perfectly and was reliable.
Out of all the slow cookers that I currently own (that’s 3 if you’re counting), I really love my Instant Pot Aura.
My favorite feature about this crock pot is that it has a cooktop feature which allows you to also brown meat in the same crock pot for recipes that require that.
It is so handy to just have the one pan to clean and it’s easy to clean as the removable insert has a non stick quality.
Crockpot Lasagna with Ravioli:
This is my go-to recipe when my family wants lasagna. Using cheese ravioli’s saves me so much time as the crock pot does all the work for me. The ravioli’s replace having to layer with pasta and ricotta cheese. Plus I like to put the cheese on top and it cooks with everything else, giving that cheesy topping.
I don’t have to use separate pans to cook the noodles. Everything goes into the crockpot for an easy, filling dinner. You may also love this Easy Baked Ravioli Recipe.
Variations to Ravioli Lasagna Crock pot:
- Ravioli – Frozen ravioli works best with this recipe. We used the cheese filled ravioli but you can use other kinds. Try the spinach and cheese filled or the sausage and cheese filled. I think they both would add in so much flavor.
- Try Ground Sausage – We typically use ground beef in this recipe. But if I have some Italian Sausage or even breakfast sausage, I will add this to my ground beef. We love the extra flavor it brings.
- Frozen Meatballs – We also have added frozen meatballs to this crockpot.
- Spaghetti Sauce – Instead of Crushed tomatoes, you can use a jar of spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce. Any flavor will work.
- Add in some onion and garlic to add some more flavor. I like adding them to my meat when I am cooking it.
- Spinach – To sneak in those veggies, add in some fresh spinach with sauce. We love the flavor it gives and spinach has so many health benefits.
- Ground Turkey – You can use ground turkey instead of ground beef if you prefer. I usually mix the two together if I want to add in some ground turkey.
Ingredients:
- Frozen Cheese Ravioli
- Ground Beef
- Crushed Tomatoes – You can also use marinara sauce.
- Italian Seasoning (Homemade Italian Seasoning Recipe)
- Garlic Salt
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
How do you make Crockpot Ravioli Lasagna?
- Brown Ground Beef – First, in a large skillet brown the beef. You’ll want to brown the beef completely and drain off the remaining fat in the skillet.
- Add in tomatoes and seasoning – Next, in the same skillet (we don’t want tons of dishes), stir in the crushed tomatoes and seasonings until thoroughly combined with the cooked beef.
- Scoop some meat sauce in your crock pot – Then in your favorite crock pot cover the bottom with some of this delicious meat sauce you just created. We like to spray crock pot with cooking spray.
- Top with a layer of raviolis and cheese – Next place a layer of ravioli across the bottom of the slow cooker on top of the pasta sauce. Then cover these raviolis with a layer of the mozzarella cheese.
- Add until all ingredients layered in crockpot – Continue this same process until all the meat sauce and ravioli are used. It’s ok to use the frozen ravioli. You do not have to thaw them prior to making this recipe.
- Top with meat sauce – Ensure that a layer of the meat sauce is on top.
- Add a topping of cheese – Finally top with one last layer of the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. The cheese mixture will blend so well while it is cooking.
- Cook ingredients – Then in your 6 or 8 quart crock pot cover and cook on low in the slow cooker for 4 hours. Cooking time will vary based on when cheese is melted.
- Rest after cooking – Once it’s done cooking, turn off your crock pot and let the meal sit for about 15 to 30 minutes before you cut and serve this delicious lazy day lasagna recipe!
Can I use Refrigerated Style Raviolis instead of Frozen?
We recommend using Frozen Raviolis but you can use fresh. I would just decrease the cooking time by 1 hour.
Should I Thaw the Raviolis?
No, you do not need to thaw the raviolis. That is why I love this recipe so much because very little prep time is needed.
What do you serve with this lasagna?
- This lazy day slow cooker lasagna recipe is so good, you can easily serve with your favorite side salad and crusty garlic bread or garlic bread cheese sticks. Yummy!
- Also, I love making my own salad dressing. This homemade Cesar Salad Dressing would go great with this lasagna recipe!
- You could also serve this delicious recipe with your favorite vegetable side dish. I love cooking broccoli in the microwave because I can have a healthy and delicious side dish prepared in no time at all for my family.
- Roasting vegetables is another great way to prepare a delicious and easy vegetable dish for your family. Roasting the veggies brings out a delicious flavor in them. Easy Parmesan Roasted Zucchini and Oven Roasted Parmesan Asparagus are just a few of my favorites!
- See See Side Dishes for Lasagna for more ideas.
Can you Freeze Lazy Lasagna?
I think my love of freezer cooking is almost as strong as my love of slow cooking! I have a large family so freezer cooking ensures that I get dinner on the table every single night for my family.
This recipe can be easily converted into a quick and easy freezer meal to stock your freezer for those busy nights.
If you enjoy freezer cooking as much as I do, I encourage you to check out our Lazy Day Cooking Club. This club is a freezer cooking meal plan that provides you with great recipes, instructions on how to freeze and all the ingredients that you need for great crock pot recipes.
This club takes away the stress of deciding what’s for dinner and gets dinner on your table in less time by teaching you the joy of freezer cooker!
How Can I Make this Vegetarian?
Yes, you can. Just omit the ground beef. You can add in some additional vegetables such as zucchini and you won’t miss the meat.
How to store Lazy Crock Pot Lasagna:
This Lazy Day Slow Cooker Ravioli Lasagna makes a large portion. So we normally have leftovers even with my large family. You can refrigerate in an airtight container for about 4-5 days. This is a perfect leftover meal that you can enjoy the next night.
It also freezes great too! We like to keep in individual containers so they make an easy lunch for my husband. He loves when we have lasagna leftover as it makes the perfect lunch.
How to Reheat Crock Pot Lasagna with Ravioli:
When you are ready to serve your leftovers, place them in a microwave safe dish and reheat. You can also reheat on your stovetop.
If heating in the microwave, start by heating in 1 minute intervals.

I only recommend cooking this one on low for 3-4 hours as the raviolis might get too soft in the crock pot. I do have an oven version of this recipe that might work better for your work schedule. It’s called Ravioli Lasagna
I’m at work all day and don’t get home till late. Would it be okay to cook this for 8 hours on low?
I made this last night. It was fantastic. Even my picky hubby went for a heaping plate of 2nds!
I did do 1 thing different. Instead of Italian seasoning and garlic salt I used garlic and her Mrs. Dash.
This is definitely a repeat meal!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
This was easy and very good!
This is a fantastic recipe and always a hit in our family and so easy to make! Thanks for sharing!
A huge hit with the family! We couldn’t believe how good it was, thank you! Changes I did;, used a mixture of 1/2 lean ground beef & 1/2 hot Italian sausage, garlic powder, home made marinara & added some ricotta, used Rana cheese tortellini, cooked about 1 1/2 hrs.
I just made this and had a bowl full with some garlic bread and I doubled the recipe so I can freeze a lot of it . Success, it was very tasty and a keeper . I cut down on the garlic salt as the crushed tomatoes have enough . Love this
VERY GOOD RECIPE!!!
How would I make this into a freezer meal?
I absolutely love this recipe because I always make lasagna for Christmas Eve and it’s a lot of work. I do make my own sauce the day before so it can blend the flavors overnight. I add ground Italian sausage to my very lean ground beef like 90%. This time I pureed a whole red bell pepper, two Roma tomatoes and used 2 cans of petite diced tomatoes, along with garlic, onion and spices. It was so delicious I like it better than regular lasagna! And from a family that specializes in Great lasagnas I’m very impressed with this recipe! Thank you so much! I will probably never make a pan lasagna again after having this. It’s just so good. I used a bag of five cheese ravioli. And along with the mozzarella I used a shredded Italian blend that also has Parmesan in it and and shredded Parmesan. Then on the top layer, instead of doing the shredded Parmesan on top of the other cheeses, I used shaved Parmesan and it was just so beautiful and delicious! I would give 10 stars if they were there! I I’m going to make this more often than I have pan lasagna.
This was a great tasting recipe and easy! I served salad and garlic toast with it. DELISH!
Since this only requires 3-4 hours in the crockpot, can I still put everything in the crockpot in the morning and use the timer to program it to start cooking 3-4 hours prior to getting home from work?
Oh I love that!
Yes, you can – just cook it the exact same.
Love this…
I would serve this with some crusty fresh bread which has been warmed in the oven or a fresh salad if the weather was a bit warmer… can’t wait to try…
I plan to try this. I have had the Ravioli with cheese and spinach in it. But not just cheese. I think Italian sausage mixed with ground beef would be good.
This works perfect for our family of 3 when I make it, my husband has leftovers for his lunch too. Just perfect!
We love this recipe! And prefer beef instead of sausage.
What would I serve with crockpot lasagna? I would serve garlic bread and green salad.
Sounds easy and tasty
I’ve made ravioli lasagna as a casserole, I’m excited to try it in the crock pot to free up my evening! I think I’ll throw some ground turkey sausage in it to change things up a bit. Can’t wait!
Sounds yummy!!!
Hi. I meant FRIED ravioli, not FRIEND! Pays to proofread!
I love friend ravioli and ravioli in general. Sausage and ground beef are great in lasagna, but I try to keep the fat down by using lean ground beef.
I made this and my family couldn’t stop raving about how good it was.
Can this be adjusted for the casserole crockpot?
Love your recipes – I get them in my email everyday.
Thanks
Wow! wait to try it.
I would prefer this with ground beef but my husband would want Italian sausage. Sometimes we mix those and it comes out pretty tasty.
I love making ravioli lasagna because it’s so easy! I don’t use meat. I’ll add veggies sometimes, but even just a cheese lasagna with bread is amazing.
Everyone ate it! Super easy which is always a plus.
I love this recipe. I would serve it with garlic bread.
Love it with a combination of Italian sausage and ground beef rather than just one.
This sounds like a great easy recipe
I have tried EASY lasagna – quick and delicious!
This recipe is so easy to make. Also delicious!!
This was a great hit with family members for celebration of life and also when i took to a local bar for regular customers to try.
Sounds wonderful. I like to add sausage to my sauce. Would eat this alone, or add a salad.
Can’t wait to try this out. Pair with garlic bread and a simple salad.
Cannot wait to try this! I would definitely pair this with a salad. I like to mix beef and spicy sausage together in my sauce for a little kick!
I like ground beef in mine instead of sausage.
I plan on making this in the next few weeks! I think I’ll mix beef and sausage! I’ll serve with with garlic bread and a salad!
I have already made this with the beef ravioli and my family love this,and I serve it with garlic bread.
Have made this recipe in the past. A favorite on the rotation. I have used the spinach & cheese ravioli. My family enjoys a meat sauce so beef, pork, sausage work well. On occasion have added frozen mini meatballs as well. Toss together a salad and garlic toast and dinner is ready to enjoy. Keep us the great recipes!
I haven’t tried this yet but looks delicious. Thank you for easy recipes.
Sounds delishous! Will have to try it out aaaand since I love tweaking recipes yep will give it a try! Thanks for posting this recipe.
I made this when my 4 grandchildren visited and spent the night. I made it with mild Italian sausage, served it with toasted garlic bread and a side salad. The grandchildren enjoyed it SO much, I ended up with MAYBE 2 servings for leftovers, which the boys finished the next day for lunch! Will I make it again? YOU BETCHA!!!
Yes, I have tried the Crockpot Lasagne and I like it.
I prefer ground beef
I served a green salad and garlic bread with this recipe
Looks oh so delicious! I’m going to have to make this one soon.
It looks so yummy!! I am going to try very soon on my family.
I’ve tried this recipe – it’s great! Half ground beef and half ground sausage is the right combination for my family – just enough spice from the sausage for our taste buds. Served with a salad and maybe a side veggie with garlic bread – it’s the perfect quick meal.
This recipe sounds wonderful. I’ve never tried ravioli in lasagna… I’m going to try the spinach when I make this. Maybe throw in some Italian sausage!
Made this and it was so good. Used frozen spinach and cheese ravioli and half hamburger and half sausage. Was so easy in the crockpot.
This is a quick and easy comfort fall dinner idea. We love this paired with a salad and garlic bread!
I have never tried this but looking forward to doing so with hamburger for me. I’d serve it with a salad and also some roasted broccoli and garlic bread.
I can’t wait to try this recipe. This sounds & looks delicious. Glad to add to pintrest to save & share. Glad to sign up to get more amazing recipes
So yummy. It’s very hard to cook something when you’re single, but recipes like this, I can eat for 2 days and then freeze. It’s a win win.
I have never tried it but am definitely adding the ingredients to my shopping list! I need easy quick dinner ideas!
OMG!!! This recipe is so good!!!! Love to make this one

Great recipe for a easy weeknight lasagne!!!
This recipe was so simple and easy. My family loved it.
I have picky eaters and this was absolutely amazing every one loved it ????????
I loved how easy it was to make the Lazy Day Lasagna. It made my house smell good all day long and my family loved it. Definitely going to make it again soon!
This is so easy to make. I sometimes put beef ravioli in or combo of beef and cheese to mix it up some.
This has become a family favorite!
I make this all the time! It is amazing and so easy to make! Everyone I’ve shared it with loves it also.
This was my very first recipe that I tried from Eating on a Dime. I was absolutely floored on how good it was. I was sold!
Very seldom do I find a recipe that all 3 of my boys LOVE and this was a WINNER for sure! I love it because it was so fast and easy. I wasn’t sure how much I’d like it because I’m not a huge fan of ravioli but I loved it too! This will DEFINATELY be on our meal rotation 🙂
So easy & Absolutely Delicious’n
Absolutely love this one. It’s so good & very easy to make. It’s great when you want homemade lasagna, but don’t have the time to make it.
easy to make and delicious.
Love this idea and recipe for a quick dinner for the family, i used meatballs as well when i didn’t have ground beef.

The Lazy Day lasagna is the best, the same taste of lasagna with half the mess. My son’s and I both love this recipe. So much easier to make send the regular lasagna.
You can find the oven version of this recipe here. I hope you enjoy it!
If you want to bake in oven how long and what temp
This is such a delicious smelling recipe to come home to after working all day! I love how this is such a meal in itself, and super easy to come home, make a salad, and dinner is DONE!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Sandie – Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Hi Carrie, I want to say I love this recipe. I have made it in the crock pot but also in a 9×9 baking dish. I made it for a neighbor of mine as she had just gotten out of the hospital from hip surgery and knew she would not be up to cooking. Her family said it was so good. I served it with Garlic Bread and a side salad.
We love this lasagna. My husbund hates food in crockpot but he loves this. Any time hes hungry for Italian food he ask for this.
So easy! So delicious!! I’ve been known to use jar pasta sauce for this recipe when I don’t have canned tomatoes on hand, but I still add the spices recommended to give it a bit more punch. Family loves it. Thank you Carrie!
An easy comfort food! My kids favorite!
This was the very first LDCC recipe I ever made and I have been hooked on the club ever since ….absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
Love this ex lasagna recipie, so delicious and all my kids loved it! It’s a win-win!!!
My kids love this! Even my husband! Great recipe if you forgot to plan supper and you can throw this together quickly in the crockpot and it’s ready in 4 hrs! Amazing!
So easy and my house smells amazing when this is cooking!
I love this! I did make a change though. I use a jar of the 45oz Ragu spaghetti sauce instead of the cans of tomatoes. It gives it more flavor I think.
I made this for Thanksgiving.
It is Wonderful !!!
Thank you !
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
This is really good. Since there are just 2 of us and my crockpot is smaller I froze half of the meat sauce and just used half of everything to make the recipe. Added a block of Mozzerella and 250g package of fresh ravioli. Today I am using the frozen half for a quick meal – just adding cheese and ravioli.
I would cook it on low for 3 hours with the refrigerated ravioli. Thank you!
I don’t have frozen ravioli but do have a package of the ones you refrigerate. How long in crock pot since they aren’t frozen?
I always for the the lazy day lasagna but I have to pass on by because I never buy frozen ravioli to have “on hand.” Oh, well. Glad everyone else likes it. I make an easy ziti instead.
If I made this in the oven how long should I bake it?
Making this for dinner tonight for my boyfriend birthday.it looks good and easy to make
This was so GOOD and so EASY. I don’t think I will ever make traditional lasagna again. I used 2 jars of pasta sauce, 1 lb. ground beef and 1/2 lb Italian sausage. Everyone loved it.
If making this in the instant pot, I would add 1 cup of water or beef broth and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes with a quick release. Thank you!
If the amounts can layer in your crock pot, I think you’ll be fine and it should not boil over. I would extend the cook time by 1 hour. Thank you!
Looks great, how about 1 hour on high in an “Insty-Pot?
Sounds great! My crockpot is only 4.5 quart. Should I half the recipe to prevent boil over? If this fits in the 4.5 quart, how much longer should it cook? High or low?
Thank you!
Great to hear. Thank you so much for sharing!
Making this for the second time. My husband loves it. I followed the recipe exactly both times. I will never make regular lasagna again. This is my go to. Thanks for a great recipe!
Making this for the second time. My husband loves it. Followed recipe exactly and comes out perfectly. Will never make regular lasagna again. Thanks for this great recipe!
Great recipe cooking now. Second time I made it and my husband loves it. Followed recipe exactly perfect. Thanks for this simple recipe!
Thank you!
Hi Carrie ?,
I already posted a comment about this fantastic recipe ????? But I forgot to rate it with 5 stars ????? Congratulations on almost hitting 2 million followers ?
And on your marriage You looked so gorgeous.?????
May ya’ll have the greatest honeymoon and be Blessed immensely in your marriage and as a Blended family ????????
We love ya’ll ????????
My husband just loves it when I make this recipe! I’m making it again tonight for dinner. The only thing I do different is that I use garlic powder, and then I season my sauce with about a 1/4 teaspoon of the pink Himalayan salt. I also season my ground beef with a little fresh ground black pepper, garlic powder, and the Pink Himalayan salt to give the ground beef a little extra flavor. I found that by using garlic powder instead of the garlic salt which I use 1 Tablespoon then 1/4 teaspoon of the pink Himalayan salt your sauce isn’t as salty and it comes out flavoured perfectly! Also we don’t really care for mozzarella cheese as we find that when it starts to cool off it tends to get a little rubbery. I buy the Italian cheese blend that is pretty shredded. You can find it at Walmart, County Market. I use about 3 cups and Parmesan cheese. If turns out so yummy. And tastes exactly like homemade lasagna! I’ve had so many compliments on it.
I think it would work to cook on high for 2 hours. Thanks!
How did it turn out when cooked on high for 2 hrs?
Great idea Jena!
I’m using beef ravioli this time to make it even more “lazy”. I usually put ricotta between the layers and I cook it on high for 2 hours and it turns out great every time.
Audress – Great ideas! I’m glad it turned out great 🙂
I used mushroom ravioli. Also, I combined 2 cans crushed tomatoes and 1 can petite diced tomatoes. I only used 1/2 tbs garlic powder NOT salt. I mixed 2 cups mozzarella and a small container of ricotta cheese. This mixture turned out great!
Next time I plan to add eggplant and spinach. See what happens.
What is the name of the utensil you use to brown the meat in the video?
Love this easy recipe! I usually add 1 can petite diced tomatoes, 2 cans tomato sauce, and 1 jar Prego spaghetti sauce with Italian sausage. I use chopped garlic, and garlic powder in the meat while it’s cooking. I add 1 tsp sugar to cut down on the acid from the tomatoes. I buy 3 pkgs of shredded 6 cheese Italian blend. Be sure to add your seasoning to your beef while it’s cooking, as well as to the sauce while it’s simmering. I layered my CP meat sauce, frozen cheese ravioli, and 1 pkg shredded cheese. I make about 3 layers doing this ending with cheese on top. I then cook it for 3 hours on high, and check to see if raviolis are done using a fork. I let rest for 15-20 minutes so it can firm up then serve. My family loves it!!!! I’m making it now for my birthday dinner. No more cooking for 5 hours making homemade lasagna for me!
I’m a good cook except when it comes to lasagna. I made this yesterday and it turned out awesome. I used turkey Italian sausage instead of beef and the flavor was amazing. I also used a 9×13 pan instead of the crock pot since I want to cut in squares and freeze the leftovers.
This recipe turned out great (and I was actually surprised at how inexpensive cheese ravioli turned out to be). It was really simple and 4 hours as a cook time from frozen was really convenient–i get home from work before the rest of my household and was able to make it after work and still eat at a semi-reasonable hour. We did find that it fell apart when scooping it out of the crock pot though. Any suggestions for how to keep it together when serving?
Fantastic Russ
About 10
Hi, we are slowing adding serving size to our recipes, this serves my family of 10 .
So glad you loved it,
Yes, thats a fantastic idea
I would think that should work , let us know how it turned out.
Yes but I would cut the recipe in half.
No, just put in frozen.
That is fantastic Shirley, Glad it was a hit!!
yes, that should work out great.
family favorite.
Can u use oven ready noodles instead of ravioli
I CAN NOT WAIT 2 TRY!!!!
Can I use this same recipe in a 5-qt Crock Pot? Same cook time, etc?
Turned out great! Plenty of leftovers!!
I just love this recipe. It’s so easy to make and I have to have two different crockpots going of this because my family loves it so much. I also add ricotta to mines.
So you don’t have to cook the ravioli before putting it in the crockpot?
Made this recently for a girlfriend and her family. She asked for the recipe and commented that it was “the best lasagna she has ever tried!”
Will be making this again!
I’m cooking the meat now….so can’t wait…
Could this be done in a 4 quart crock pot?
Made this with plain uncooked lasagne noodles and ricotta / cottage cheese. It turned out GREAT. This is a favorite dinner at horse shows ‘cause the crockpot does most of the work. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Turned out amazing! My husband is making it tonight for Mother’s Day!
mine is in the slow cooker right now waiting for me to get home this is one of our favorites it is my daughter’s favorite turns out great every time I like to use one large can of crushed tomatoes and one jar of spaghetti sauce!!?
I am making this tonight keeping fingers crossed it works well. Someone had asked about how to make it veggie depending on how this work I am gonna try mushroom ravs next. Thanks for the great Idea.
If I use spaghetti sauce instead of the cans of tomatoes, how much should I use? So anxious to try this. Thank you.
Question can you use Beef Ravioli instead of Cheese ? I want to make it tomorrow for dinner
No, I don’t thaw, thanks so much , Let us know how it turns out for you. .
Looks yummy! Do you thaw the ravioli before you put it on? Worried about the sauce being watery if they are left frozen…
Yes , I have used both with good luck. thanks Sara
Is it okay to use refrigerated ravioli ? My store didn’t have any frozen ones.
How could you turn this in to veggie “lasagna”? Thanks
Can you use the ready made refrigerated ravioli vs frozen?
So do you cook the ravioli or put it in frozen?
Do you thaw the ravioli first, or use it frozen?
If I throw it together the night before Leaving it in fridge over night. Then turning it on later the next day…
Would it work? Or would the ravioli get soggy? It looks GREAT. Haven’t tired it yet but we will tomorrow.
How long would you cook if it unfrozen fresh ravioli ?
Can you layer that with ricotta
Looks good, but definitely not cheap. The frozen beef ravioli is almost $5.00 a bag here, and it looks like I’d need 2 bags. Will still try it though.
Could cheese tortellini be substituted for the raveoli?
Did anyone else’s come out really watery? We haven’t taken any out to eat yet, it’s doing the 15 minutes of sitting while I warm my bread. But mine looks quite watery on the sides.
I accidently bought beef ravioli can I still make it work?
Do you cook the raviolis before you put them in the Crock-Pot?
This is what’s for supper tonight along with cheesy Texas Toast. Going to use spaghetti sauce instead of whole tomatoes so my husband will eat it. Yummy
Could you make a large batch in a roaster for a large group
Can’t get frozen ravioli what could I used instead love your recipes
I used spiced up prego instead of tomatoes. Was awesome.
Made it last night. Omg….yummy! Will definitely be making this again and again.
Can’t get any easier and less time and money than making a pan of lasagna.
Does this feed your family? Or can it be doubled maybe in a roaster?
When you put the raviolis in are they till frozen?
When you t the raviolis in are they l frozen?
Trying this tonight but it was last minute so put it on high for 2 hours and pray it comes out OK. Uses fresh mozzarella instead of shredded…..fingers crossed!
Have you tried the Taco pie if use the hamburger and corn and cheese with Biscuits on top
I just had to try and make this delicious recipe! Im waiting on it to get done! It’s really looking good??Thanks??a bunch ??Tammy??
I used the bigger raviolis, the round ones. I also added fresh mushrooms to the sauce, onions and garlic as well. Really tasty.
Any chance you could use other cheeses? I don’t have enough mozzarella ?
I do used more over with crockpot lot like porkchope . Chicken . Soup thing like do so easy to fix thanks Terri ?
Do you boil the ravioi or put them in rozen
Can I put it on high for 2 hours instead of low for 4 hours?
How many layers of each do you usually end up with in the crockpot? Thanks!
On my way to the store.
Do you put the ravioli in there while frozen?
Do you put the ravioli in there frozen ?
if i use lasagne noodles cook them but not all the way thru, still 4 hours on low in crock pot?
Can you cook on high for 2 hours? Just trying to shorten cook time.
This is great. I’ve made it several times.
I made this for dinner tonight. The changes I made was i added sweet Italian sausage to the hamburger, in the sauce I added fennel, 2 garlic cloves, basil, parsley, Italian seasoning, 2 tbs sugar. It was absolutely amazing. I also did a vegitarian style with spinach for my daughter… yummmmmmm! They all loved it.
Do you pre cook ravioli?
If you are vegetarian, you could just omit the meat. My granddaughter would luv it.
going to the store so i can make this tomorrow cant wait
Do u think it would be ok to cook it on high for an hour and then turn down to low for an hour?
This is delicious just the way it is. So easy. My kids love it as much as I do. Thank you!
wish you would put in the serving size, you know, how many it feeds?
Ive made it a lot since I found the recipe. Its very easy and taste very good. Only thing I’ve found a problem is that alot of grocery stores doesnt have crushed tomatoes. Walmart carries all the items and it doesn’t cost much for a family.
Can you use edamame noodles and stir in riocotta cheese? My family is carb free and it’s hard making our old favorite comfy foods so I’m trying to keep things interesting here. This looks great I just wouldn’t know when to add the edamame. Thanks
Made it today it was good. This a great way to have lasagna on hot day without heating up the house.
Would you cook the sausage before? If you were to substitute
Yes you can! HEre is a lightly different version where you bake it here -http://www.eatingonadime.com/easy-baked-ravioli-recipe/
Can you bake this dish?
I use frozen Italian meatballs instead of hamburger meat
I made this today using spaghetti sauce, and instead of meat, we used spinach. Next time we are trying zucchini and eggplant. I also added some ricotta… this was a major hit with my family!!
Hi. If I were to bake it, what temp and for how long?
I would say 6-8 people
About how many people would you say this serves?
Hi Carrie!
WOW! I made this Lasagna a couple of days ago! (I did add a few more spices, and a chopped onion.) It instantly rose to the title of FAVORITE LASAGNA EVER category!!! Thanks! I love it!
Oh Carrie! You hit the jackpot on this one!!! We had it tonight with our neighbors as our guinea pigs, uh, I mean as our dinner guests, and we ALL LOVED IT!!!! This is definitely a keeper recipe. And so easy to make. I never would have thought to use ravioli, but I loved the flavor it gave. I followed your recipe exactly except I didn’t have enough crushed tomatoes, so I used a can of spaghetti sauce. It made so much that we all will have leftovers tomorrow. Out of 5 stars, I give this recipe a 10 because of ease and flavor! Thank you! Debbie
I just put this in the crockpot and was so simple and quick to put together. I’ll let you know how mine turns out. Inviting the neighbors over for dinner, so fingers crossed! Debbie
How many will this feed?
If you decide to bake it, how long would you bake it for?
I used the spaghetti sauces instead of the tomatoes works great taste awesome
If I throw it together the night before Leaving it in fridge over night. Then turning it on later the next day…
Would it work? Or would the ravioli get soggy?
I think that would work out great. enjoy
What about just using spaghetti sauce instead of the tomatoes and seasonings?
Great , I am sure you will love it.
We are trying this today starting it as we speak so excited looks so good
Could you cook on high for 2 hours? Thanks!
Hi Patty, either will work but I usually grate my own. thanks for trying and I hope it turns out fantastic for you.
Yes I know this may be a stupid question but is the parmesan cheese from a can or in the dairy?
I made some last night , quick and easy to do .. cooked in slow cooker for only 1 hr cause the meat was already cooked before putting in pot .. YUMMO ?
Does the ravioli need to be thawed first
Instead of doing this on low for 4 hours in the crock pot would 2 hours on high work as well?
I made this last weekend. It was very tasty but too salty for my taste. I’d reduce the garlic salt to 1 teaspoon or use minced garlic and salt to taste.
Do you thaw the ravioli or use frozen?
Can this recipe be doubled in a 7 qt. crockpot? My daughter wants leftovers for lunch the next day? My kids loved it the first time I made it.
I threw in a jar of Ragu basil and garlic sauce! Mmmmmmm.
My crockpot is deep not wide should I cook time differently?
I tried this recipe but it burned along the edges and had to turn it off after 3 1/2 hours. Very disappointing in the crock pot but possibly better in the oven.
I made this the other day and it was delicious! Because it’s just me, I used my 1.5 qt. crock pot and saved the leftover sauce, cheese and ravioli for another batch. I suspect this would freeze well too! Thanks for the great recipe.
Ok I made this today. It is very good. A couple things. Do NOT get little raviolis I do not think they have as much Cheese in them. After 4 hrs mine was not done so baked it for an hour at 350.!that was too long. Maybe 30 min if you want like baked lasagna.
Very easy and tastes great.
Is there a nutritional list with this?
I made this dish! what a great meal. I used my own home made sauce and added the other ingredients into my crock pot, set for four hours on low and turned out delicious!!
This is the best lasagna I’ve ever had…I don’t make it the traditional way anymore…
Hello! It looks wonderful. Could you use canned ravioli instead of frozen?
Could you cook on high for a shorter cook ?
Could I cook in high for less time or mix high and low??
Could you cook on high for less time??
I want to try this but one tablespoon of garlic salt seems like way too much. What about using garlic powder instead to cut down on the salt as most of the other ingredients especially the cheese already contain plenty of salt?
How many does this recipe serve
I’ve made this 4 times now. I added a small can of tomato sauce with Italian seasoning as well as 2x the garlic as per request from my family. So delicious. I’ve also experimented with different ravioli but the five cheese blend seems to be the best. Thank you!
Could you omit meat in the sauce and use frozen beef ravioli and spaghetti sauce?
How many does it serve. Didn’t see but maybe I missed it.
Maybe I missed but don’t see how many this recipe serves?
My family doesn’t like crushed or whole tomatoes, could I used a prepared sause like Prego instead? Would you use 1 or 2 jars?
My family doesn’t like crushed or whole tomatoes, could I used a prepared sause like Prego instead?
Can it be left to cook for longer, say 9 hours or would it dry out and burn? Or can it cook on high for 2 1/2 hrs?
Do you drain the tomatoes? Anxious to whip this up!
If making for 8 people, would I need to double the recipe?
if I want to make this for 8 people, would I need to double the recipe?
I made this last night & even my way picky daughter loved it! This recipe is yummy & easy! Thanks for sharing. ?
You mentioned it will feed your whole family. How many people do you feed with this recipe as it is?
If you put it in the oven, how long should it cook and at what temperature?
I’m making it right now in my crock pot..
Smells sooooooooo DELICIOUS too. !!
This sounds yummy! Thank you for the great idea!
I made this it is absolutely the best and no time to prepare…no mess..the recipe makes a lot..I had 4 adults for dinner and still had enough for another meal…
Could you use the same amount of pasta sauce instead of tomatoes?
The only thing I’m changing from my 1st try (it still was inhaled, including by my picky eater 😉 ) is to add more crushed tomatoes – 2 28 oz cans. It needed slightly more, for our taste.
Do you place frozen, thawed, or cooked ravioli in crockpot?
I would add mushrooms and maybe use the spinach ravioli and a touch of red pepper seasoning with ground turkey sausage
Can you shorten the cooking time? Say like 2hrs on high or 1 hr on high and 3 on low???
Could you substitute Pasta Sauce for the crushed tomatoes?
I’m not a cook; I’m a retired guy who every now and then likes to try to cook something for my wife and me to give her a break. I made the Lazy Day Crock pot Lasagne tonight and it was surprisingly good. Not surprising from a standpoint of this web site, but surprising since I was able to make it!
The crushed tomatoes that I used had salt added, so with the garlic salt, it was a little TOO salty. Next time I’ll just use garlic powder if the crushed tomatoes have salt in it. And we didn’t have 4 cups of mozzarella on hand, only had 3 cups. And it worked out quite well with just 3. Also, we were a little anxious to eat and forgot to let it sit for about 15 minutes so it was a little runny (but only for the first helping). I probably overate it was so good.
Thank you Carrie.
Fixed this recipe tonight and it was delicious. Definitely will be making again.
I made it for dinner was great but next time I’m going to cut the salt down to 1teaspoon instead of 1 tablespoon , I also doubled the recipe and baked in the oven
Yes, I would just make sure you add in ricotta cheese too. The ravioli already have the cheese inside. 🙂
Instead of the ravioli…do you think the no-cook lasagne noodles would work?
Are the raviolis frozen when they go in or should I cook them
This looks good. I’m thinking it will be on our rotation also. Thanks for sharing.
How many servings does this recipe make?
Do you put The ravioli in the crockpot frozen?
I would use Italian Sausage Ravioli
How many servings do u get??
How much tomatoe sauce should you use if not using crushed tomatoes? I have some jarrred sauce on hand.
I saw another version of this – almost identical – except it said cook on HIGH for 4 hours…..does it need to be in HIGH or LOW heat?
How many servings does it make?
I only have about 3 hours. Can I cook it on high for an hour and low for 2 hours?
Has anyone done beef ravioli and just a spaghetti sauce?
Made it 2 weeks ago and it was a big hit!!! We loved it so much gonna make it again today. I used Italian sausage instead ???
Can u use Lasagna noodles instead of Ravoili?
How long if you bake it and temperature? Please
Can’t u use lasagna noodles instead of cheese ravioli?
Could you make this using lasagna noodles?
How long and at what temp. would you bake it?
I would use the meat raviolis as my family doesn’t like cheese raviolis. But definitely will try.
Asha, you could bake it.
Do u have to use a crock pot
Do not use 1 tablespoon of garlic salt……maybe a half or quarter…soooooo salty !…plus I had to use a jar of spaghetti sauce and brown sugar to cut down all the salt.I hope it turns out.
I added onions and 2 cloves of garlic to meat sauce, along with spices and it was delicious
maybe put in a couple layers of ricotta and parmesan ..love the idea of using the ravioli
Can you use regular lasagna noodles?
I am going to make this this weekend! Looks delicious!
looks yummy and most of all, easy
Looks wonderful going to try!!!
I wonder How the no cook lasagne noodles would work…?
That’s not lasagna. It’s meat ravioli….
I just made this today and it was super easy (as I am not the best cook and I need easy). It was oh sooooo good!! I highly recommend this! We are busy every day of the week so the fact I can make it in a crockpot sure makes life easier!! Thank you!
Just what the Dr. ordered for the Falcons game tomorrow.
Cheers ya’ll
I am I interested in your recipes. Send more of them. Thank u
I am going to try it tomorrow !!
Sounds really interesting.
Add some mushrooms, peppers and onions to sauce. Add some ricotta cheese between layers.
Add a tablespoon of sugar to the meat sauce to cut the acid in the tomatoes.
Beef is misspelled
Can I use lasagna noodles instead of frozen cheese ravioli and spaghetti sauce instead of crushed tomatoes
