Slow Cooker Sausage and Peppers Ravioli Lasagna

A comforting and easy family-friendly dish combining Italian sausage, colorful bell peppers, and cheesy ravioli, all layered in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 package (25 oz) frozen cheese ravioli
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. Sauté chopped onion and bell peppers in the same skillet until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  3. Layer in the slow cooker: start with marinara sauce, then half of the ravioli, half of the cooked sausage, half of the sautéed vegetables, and a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layering process.
  4. Sprinkle oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add any remaining marinara sauce over the layers.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours until ravioli are tender and cheese is melted.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve with garlic bread or salad.
