Ever since we started this journey of financial freedom we're on, we've been cooking meals at home.  After awhile you start to get sick of eating the same meals over and over again.  With that in mind, I took to Pinterest to find something new to make that even my picky eaters would eat.  Being mostly made in the crock pot/slow cooker was just an added bonus.

The recipe that I followed was from Spend With Pennies.  I didn't completely follow it to a tee so, here's how I made it.

Ingredients for Ravioli Lasagna:

1lb hamburger
1 onion diced
2 cloves minced garlic (I just use the stuff in a jar)
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 large jar of pasta sauce
4 C mozzarella cheese (I used two regular sized bags from Wal*Mart)
1 large package of ravioli (I used a whole family pk from Wegmans)

Brown the hamburger meat with the diced onions and minced garlic.  Once meat is fully cooked, drain grease.

After the sauce is done simmering, place a thin layer of sauce to the bottom of your crock pot/slow cooker.  If you don't use the slow cooker liner like I did, spray with cooking spray before adding the sauce.

Add a layer of uncooked ravioli.  These are actually frozen.  I used just a plan cheese filled ravioli, but you can use any filled ravioli you like.

Pair it with a nice side salad and some yummy garlic bread and you have a rather delicious meal.  There you have it, a fun little twist on lasagna and a rather simple meal to make.
