Tasty Tuesday - Crock Pot Cheesy Ravioli

I thought it would be fun to post recipes on this blog (because I really enjoy cooking for my family and I wanted an excuse to use the term “Tasty Tuesday”J)

We eat a home cooked meal at least 6 days out of the week. I get off at 5:00pm and most days – by the time I pick both of the girls up, get us home and settled – its 6:00pm before I can start dinner. (On the days Nevaeh has soccer practice or games, this gets even more chaotic.) So I HAVE to meal plan or I will not survive. Several times a week I cook meals large enough to last two nights. And I use my Crock Pot A LOT. This is one of the family’s favorite recipes. It’s super easy and kid and hubby approved. Winning all around!!

I serve this with organic Italian bread and sometimes, a side salad.

Crock Pot Cheesy Ravioli



 

Ingredients:

• Cooking Spray
• Large jar of pasta sauce (about 50 oz. I used two 24 oz. jars of the Organic Bertolli Sauce)
• 1 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes (I used the Italian seasoned ones)
• 1 can of condensed cheddar cheese soup
• 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
• 1 bag of frozen cheese ravioli (I have also used the meat ravioli, both are great)
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese



 

Directions:

1. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray
2. In a separate bowl, combine the pasta sauce, tomatoes, cheese soup and garlic. Mix well.
3. Spoon 1/3 of the sauce into the slow cooker, top with 1/3 of ravioli. Sprinkle 1/3 of cheese over ravioli. Repeat twice.
4. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
5. Serve warm.

There you go!! Enjoy J
