Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 yellow onion diced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon sea salt
36 ounces marinara sauce homemade or jarred, about 4 cups
25 ounces frozen ravioli
2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided

Instructions

Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Alternatively, if your slow cooker has a saute function, use that. Add your ground beef, stirring with a spoon to crumble the meat.
Add the onion, Italian seasoning, and salt. Cook for 7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the meat mixture. Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray.
Add ¾ cup of the marinara sauce and spread to coat the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add half of the ravioli and half of the meat mixture.
Sprinkle with ½ cup of the cheese. Top with half of the remaining sauce.
Repeat the layers, adding the ravioli, meat, ½ cup of the cheese, and the remaining sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1 ½ cups of cheese. Cook for another 30 minutes.

Notes

Storage

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat them in the microwave, on the stovetop, or in the oven.

Since the ravioli were already frozen, I don't recommend freezing this recipe.
