Ingredients
  

  • 24 Ounces marinara sauce
  • 14 Ounces frozen ravioli, beef or cheese filled
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 Cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Layer the sauce Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of your slow cooker to prevent sticking.
    Step 2: Add the ravioli Place a single layer of frozen ravioli over the sauce. No need to thaw!
    Step 3: Add the vegetables Sprinkle the grated carrot and chopped red bell pepper evenly over the ravioli.
    Step 4: Add cheese Sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella cheese over the vegetables.
    Step 5: Repeat the layers Continue layering sauce, ravioli, vegetables, and cheese until all ingredients are used up. End with a layer of sauce topped with cheese.
    Step 6: Cook Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours or HIGH for 1.5-2 hours, until the ravioli is tender and cheese is melted and bubbly.
    Step 7: Serve Top with fresh basil and serve straight from the slow cooker!

Notes

Don't thaw the ravioli — frozen goes straight in and works perfectly.
Use a good quality marinara sauce — it's the base of the whole dish.
Add browned ground beef between layers for a heartier meal.
Check at the 3 hour mark on low — ravioli can get mushy if overcooked.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
