Preparation Steps

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
• Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of the crockpot.
• Layer half of the frozen ravioli over the sauce.
• Top ravioli with half of the cooked beef, half of the ricotta mixture, and a third of the mozzarella cheese.
• Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
• Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until cooked through and cheese is melted.
• Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil before serving.
