Notes
Can you make Ravioli Lasagna in the crockpot? Yes! First, cook the ground beef and sausage in a skillet until browned. Drain and mix with marinara sauce. In a slow cooker ladle half of the sauce into the bottom of a slow cooker. Top with half of frozen ravioli and half of the ricotta mixture. Repeat layers. Top with mozzarella cheese, cover and cook on high for 3 hours.
How do you reheat ravioli lasagna? To reheat leftovers, cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.
Can I use cottage cheese in place of ricotta? Yes. Just swap in a 1:1 ratio.
