Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add your ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and return beef to the skillet.
  2. Prepare the Meat Sauce: Stir in the pasta sauce and garlic powder with the browned beef, mixing well. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Layer the Sauce in the Crockpot: Spoon a thin layer of the meat sauce into the bottom of the crockpot.
  4. Add the Ravioli Layer: Place half of the frozen cheese ravioli over the meat sauce in a single layer.
  5. Repeat with More Sauce and Ravioli: Pour another layer of the meat sauce over the ravioli, then add the remaining frozen ravioli.
  6. Finish with More Meat Sauce: Top the final layer of ravioli with the rest of the meat sauce.
  7. Add the Cheeses: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and grated Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.
  8. Cook the Lasagna: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
  9. Serve and Set: Remove the lid and let the lasagna sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
